The Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural (YYSA) has described some highly placed Nigerians who are alleged to be mounting pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to return home as a matter of urgency as being “selfish and callous.”
This warning is contained in a press release signed by the President of YYSA, Mr Habib Olalekan Hammed, and made available to journalists in Ibadan.
According to the group, there is no sense in rushing the ailing president back home since his trip to the UK which was to get medical treatment has not yet been achieved
Hammed on behalf of YYSA said “it would amount to homicide to influence the president to come to Nigeria just to feign being medically alright or assure Nigerians that his condition is mild.”
According to the statement, “Any attempt to rush President Muhammadu Buhari back to Nigeria for political or personal interests of some people is callous and a ploy to put the country into contrived mourning since the president has not been certified medically alright by his doctors.
“Only those who do not care about the future of this country are calling for the president’s arrival even if it is just to show up and go back to the UK to complete his medical treatment.
“Why do we have to force an indisposed person to work and risk his life when we have a Vice President on ground already manning the affairs of the country in acting capacity and he is doing his best. It is better we endure missing our President than losing him,” the statement said.
YYSA however warned the presidency and those calling for the President Buhari’s immature return at all cost to desist from the act, saying the best thing is to allow the President enjoy full medical care and pray for his quick recovery.
