Buhari Asked To Resign Over Insecurity- Northern Elders
President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has been asked to resign for failing to provide security in the country by the Northern Elders Forum on Tuesday .
This demand was made by the forum in a statement by its spokesperson, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.
It said it was disappointing that after nearly seven years of being in office, Buhari still has no answers to security challenges across the country.
The statement read, “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.
“Killers and other criminals appear to have sensed a paralysing vacuum at the highest levels of leadership, and they grow more confident and acquire more competence in subverting the State and our security.
“Nigerians have shed enough tears and blood without appropriate response from those with responsibilities to protect us.”
