The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has described as ‘lies and propaganda’, the claims of phone conversations between President Muhammadu Buhari and a handful of people.
It would be recalled that some notable figures, mostly in the All Progressives Congress (APC), claim to have spoken with President Buhari, who is currently on medical vacation in London.
In a statement on Tuesday, the CNPP asked the “Federal Government to face governance issues that would alleviate the suffering of the masses,” rather than deceive Nigerians with how the president had spoken to a selected few.

CNPP said that the “media hype of Mr. President’s calls to different individuals were unnecessary.
“We see the continued media hype of President Buhari’s phone calls and possible photoshopped pictures of individual visits to his London hospital as a distraction.
“Why is Mr. President always calling from his sick bed to individuals at a time he should be resting to get well quick and return home?
“If he can be talking to individuals, what is difficult about talking to the nation in a live broadcast, where some citizens can call in and get his response?.

“The Presidency should stop deceiving Nigerians and know that governance must not be based on lies and propaganda.
“At a time the average Nigerian does not know where the next meal will come from, we see the presidency toiling with people’s emotions rather than face governance issues to reduce the current suffering in the country.
“Enough of phone calls from President Buhari. It is time for the ruling party to deliver on its campaign promises and make life better for the citizens of Nigeria.”
