PH Residents Applaud Buhari’s Return

Residents of  Port Harcourt have applauded the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from his 104 days medical vacation in the United Kingdom. A Port Harcourt-based businessman, Mr Jude Onyechefuna said in an interview that he was happy that the President was back from his long medical vacation abroad hale and hearty.
“His presence in the country will prove those who were saying that he was dead wrong.”
“The Acting President Yemi Osinbajo did a lot of good works in the country in the absence of the president, now the president is back to continue from where his vice stopped,” he said.
Onyechefuna said that Buhari’s presence will reduce the agitations by some groups of people in the country. According to him, “one of the reasons for the agitations was because things were not moving the way they ought to in the country, but I want to add that the president should try hard to tackle the problems by finding out the needs of the masses and doing them for them,” he advised. Another respondent, Mr Nelson Okeke, a resident of Ekwe Street, Mile 3 Diobu, Port Harcourt, said the return of  the president is good but argued that he might be going back, since this was not the first time he had been coming back.
“However, now that he is back, he should look into the unfulfilled promises he made since 2015 till date and try hard to actualise those promises,” he advised.
“He should also look into the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) strike and make sure the strike is called off by providing the demands of the union in order for our children to go back to school”, he lamented. However, Mr Victor Ezeugo, a 50-year-old businessman in Port Harcourt accused the President of  being of corruption in the country because as he puts it, “the president has been sick for about two years and he is still the president of Nigeria, is that not corruption?” he asked.
