The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to show example by patronizing a Nigerian public hospital on his next medical appointment.

The party said by doing so Buhari would be able to experience the healthcare reality that Nigerians had been subjected to under his government.

The opposition party was reacting to Buhari’s recent comment through the Minister of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, that Nigerians should stop going abroad for medical treatment.

The PDP in a statement by its national spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan said the comment was “self-indicting and raises public apprehensions on high-level deceits in governance.”

The statement read in part, “Our party describes as ridiculous, a situation where a President, who patronizes foreign hospitals for treatment and even check-ups; whose administration has failed to provide adequate healthcare in his country, could turn around to pontificate to other citizens against foreign treatment.

“While the PDP do not approve of proliferated foreign medical tourism, especially by leaders and public office holders, our party holds that a leader who has failed to lead by example and whose government has neglected and wrecked our healthcare systems, lacks all rectitude to issue directives against foreign treatment.

“Consequently, the PDP urges President Buhari to show example by patronizing a Nigerian public hospital on his next medical appointment so that he can

“Mr President can then discover that our health system has suffered untold neglect under his watch, leading to dilapidated infrastructure, empty drug shelves, decrepit and worn-out equipment, brain drain and a demoralized workforce worse than his 1983 recollections.

The federal government will continue to subsidise the gap in electricity cost to consumers pending the adjustment in tariffs announced by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) on Saturday.
On Saturday, NERC announced a new multi-year tariff order (MYTO) to supersede the previous one issued since 2015.
In its announcement, the electricity sector regulator said the new order was scheduled to come into effect January 1, 2020.
The order involved the review of the electricity tariffs chargeable by the 11 electricity distribution companies (DISCos) for all categories of consumers in the country, except the residential category (R1).
However, following the publication of the order in the media, NERC on Sunday gave a clarification that although January 1, 2020 was given as the effective date for the new order, the government will continue to subsidise electricity consumption cost till April 1 this year.
"The federal government's updated Power Sector Recovery Programme (PSRP) does not envisage an immediate increase in end-user tariffs until April 1, 2020 and a transition to full cost reflectivity by end of 2021," the clarification highlighted.
"In the interim, the Federal Government has committed to fund the revenue gap arising from the difference between cost reflective tariffs determined by the Commission and the actual end-user tariffs payable by customers in line with stipulated criteria," the statement added.
The criteria include an obligation by all the DISCOs to settle in full their market invoices to gas suppliers and other commitments as adjusted and netted off by applicable tariff shortfall; compliance to the minimum remittance threshold spelled out in the MYTO, taking into consideration receivables from ministries, departments and agencies.
The spokesperson of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), Sunday Oduntan, last year gave the shortfall in revenue  as a result of the federal government's refusal to implement a cost-reflective tariff regime in the power sector since 2016.
The shortfall is the minimum amount the government will have to pay to subsidise the cost of electricity supply.
Tariffs under latest MYTO order
A review of new tariffs by PREMIUM TIMES showed price increases  which ranged between 60 per cent in places like Ikeja, to about 73 per cent in Abuja, and about 78 per cent in Enugu.
For instance, the new tariffs showed that Residential consumers, particularly those categorised as R2, in Ikeja, who have been paying about N13.34 per kilowatt hour (kWh) under the 2015 MYTO will be paying about 59.7 per cent increase.
Similarly, their counterparts in Enugu, who have been paying about N17.42 per kWh since 2015 will be paying about N30.93 kWh, about 77.6 per cent hike under the new dispensation.
Consumers in Abuja and environs who have been paying N27.20 per kWh since 2015, will now be paying N47.09 per kWh, over 73 per cent increase.
Except consumers in the Residential (R1) category, who will continue to pay N4 per kWh, all other categories of consumers, namely commercial, industrial and special, will pay higher tariffs, some as high as over 100 per cent.
The R1 are those categorized as poor under the life-line group consuming about 50 kWh or less.
The R2 consumers are those residing in houses, flats, or multi-storeyed buildings and use single or three phase meters. These consist of the bulk of the consumers spread across the country.

Nigerian singer, Esegine Allen popularly known as Orezi is demanding the sum of N100 million from ride hailing company, Bolt after he was involved in a car crash on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, on December 6
The singer was reportedly involved in the accident when he took a Bolt taxi at about 5:30am in the morning on the said day and according to him, all of a sudden he woke up to a crash on Third Mainland bridge with a broken jaw.
“I was seated at the back when it happened and it seems I crashed my jaw into the front seat so I lost consciousness and was just bleeding from everywhere. I still managed to make the flight after i got first aid but I’m fine now”, Orezi posted on social media moments after the incident.
The singer has thus filed a lawsuit through his lawyers ‘Abimbola Fakeye Chambers’ demanding the whooping sum of N100 million as damages from Bolt (formerly known as Taxify).
In the suit, Orezi’s counsel held that; “The unnecessary hardship, loss of income, medical bills spent and more importantly, death scare arising from this incident has necessitated this suit and we have been instructed to employ every legal means to recover adequate and due recompense.
