An All Progressives Congress stalwart Charles Udo Udeogaranya on Tuesday said that those who want president Muhammadu Buhari to return are not wishing the president well.

The president has been in London for over 100 days, attending to his health. His long absence from office necessitated the protest.

However, the stalwart insisted in a statement issued on Monday that the President cannot return to the country because the, ”medical services in Nigeria lags way behind other countries of the world”.

He said: ”We all are aware that infrastructure wise, particularly on medical services, Nigeria lags way behind other countries of the world and therefore it would be safe to say that anyone demanding the president to return to Nigeria hurriedly is not wishing him well.

”Nigeria needs president Buhari to be well and alive to conduct the 2019 general elections successfully and hand over power peacefully or otherwise, oversee any major restructuring that National Assembly members may approve.

”This is imperative, in order to avoid national instability that may crack the centre due to the high level of hopelessness among many Nigerians who have totally given up on governments at various levels.”
