President Buhari has to seriously consider the option of resigning from office
NIGERIA, Kaduna (TVAFRINET) – Following the heightened insecurity across northern Nigeria, Northern Elders Forum (NEF) , a pressure group have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to “seriously consider” resigning from office.
The call was made on Tuesday by NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.
Baba-Ahmed said there has not been an “appropriate response” from the government over the killings across the country.
“We cannot continue to live and die under the dictates of killers, kidnappers, rapists and sundry criminal groups that have deprived us of our rights to live in peace and security,” he said
“The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari does not appear to have answers to the challenges of security to which we are exposed. We cannot continue to live and die under the dictates of killers, kidnappers, rapists and sundry criminal groups that have deprived us of our rights to live in peace and security.
“Our constitution has provisions for leaders to voluntarily step down if they are challenged by personal reasons or they prove incapable of leading.
“It is now time for President Buhari to seriously consider that option, since his leadership has proved spectacularly incapable of providing security over Nigerians. Our Forum is aware of the weight of this advice, and it is also aware that we cannot continue to live under these conditions until 2023 when President Buhari’s term ends,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“Nigerians have shed enough tears and blood without appropriate response from those with responsibilities to protect us.”
Baba-Ahmed concluded that the vacuum of power at the top has made criminals bolder to keep carrying out their nefarious activities.
