The spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to “consider resigning”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Baba-Ahmed said Buhari should resign immediately because he is worried the state of Nigeria will get worse in 2023.
The former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Secretary gave the advice in reaction to terrorist attacks being witnessed in Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of power.
“I am terrified by the state of Nigeria. I am more terrified by what it will be by May 2023. If there are people he listens to, they should ask him to consider resigning. Any lawful option is better than his continuing. Raise your voice, Nigeria. It’s enough,” Baba-Ahmed wrote on his known Twitter handle on Tuesday.
Similarly, the Katsina State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has called on the Buhari to resign immediately over his inability to secure the country.
The state Chairman of the NNPP, Sani Litti, who made the call at a press conference in Katsina on Monday, alleged that no fewer than 50,000 Nigerians had lost their lives to banditry from 2015 to date.
The chairman, therefore, charged members of the National Assembly to commence the impeachment of the President if he refused to resign.
