Mrs Jonathan had
reportedly been refused entry into the VIP lounge of the airport during a
visit to the state to bury a former aide.
The PDP’s comments were contained in a statement released by National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh on Sunday, July 26, 2015.

Metuh said:
“Now
that the visit has come and gone, our fear is that nothing whatsoever
has been learnt or gained. What we continue to receive as a nation have
been embarrassing disagreements, accusations and counter-accusations,
blames and denials on very important issues due to lack of tact and
skill in the management of state matters by the APC-led administration.”

“It is disheartening
that rather than secure any sort of tangible gain for the fight against
terrorism, which has lost steam under the APC watch, with insurgents,
who were pushed to the verge of surrender by the Goodluck Jonathan
administration, now surging back and spreading into the country, we get
nothing but exchanges and disagreements between the Presidency and their
American hosts.”

handling of international affairs on the part of the present
administration.”
