The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is allowed to go on vacation whenever he wants.
The APC’s comments were expressed by National Auditor, George Moghalu while speaking to Daily Sun.
“There
is nothing wrong with his (Buhari) going on vacation and what he does
with his vacation period is entirely his business,” he said.
“Let
us assume he is sick; what is wrong with someone falling sick? On the
contrary, Mr President should rather be commended because things that
have not been happening before are happening now.
“We
have a president transmitting power to his deputy to act while he goes
on a 10-day vacation trip and relayed the information to the National
Assembly. Previously, government was personalised and what we had was a
case of ‘if he is not there everything stops.’ President Buhari has
brought a level of civility in politics. There is nothing wrong with his
going on vacation and what he does with his vacation period is entirely
his business.
“The Presidency has said
that he is not sick to the extent of incapacitation. There is no debate
about whether he is still fit to rule the country,” he added.
Buhari is in London to receive treatment for a persistent ear infection.
