The Presidency on Wednesday responded to Senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe’s call for President Buhari to resign over the worsening security situation in Nigeria.
Sen. Abaribe made the call while lawmakers were discussing a motion on national security challenges and calls for restructuring in plenary yesterday.
The senator explained that his call for the President to resign was because he had failed to solve the security challenges in the country, years after Nigerians voted the APC government into power to address it along with the power challenges in the country.
However, presidential spokesman Garba Shehu said Abaribe was not in the best of position to call out Buhari, being a member of the party that raped the country and being a surety for a suspect that has become a fugitive.
“This is a man who should have replaced the suspects he failed to produce in the correctional facility”, Shehu said.
He then boasted that only Buhari can rout the terrorists and restore peace to Nigeria.
“President Buhari is working hard to keep Nigeria and Nigerians out of the harm terrorists have unleashed in the entire Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa. With the support of Nigerians and our foreign friends, he is going to finish off these terrorists. He alone can do it”.
Garba Shehu’s full statement:
President Buhari to resign on what basis?
Just because some characters think that President Buhari should resign, then they expect him to quit. That call does not represent the opinion of the country. This is the opinion of an arm chair critic, known for making stray comments.
If a leader like President Buhari needs to resign, there are millions of other Nigerians who need to resign, including Senator Abaribe who unlocked the door to enable the escape of traitorous and treasonable suspects.
He signed the bond for the court to release Nnamdi Kanu on bail, from which moment the suspect disappeared into the thin air. Senator Abaribe has failed repeated deadlines to return Kanu to the court for trial, yet he has the effrontery with which to accuse someone of failing to the bidding of the law.
This is a man who should have replaced the suspects he failed to produce in the correctional facility.
Abaribe’s party raped the nation and left it collapsing in 2015 and President Buhari is fixing things up all the years he is in office.
President Buhari is working hard to keep Nigeria and Nigerians out of the harm terrorists have unleashed in the entire Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa with the support of Nigerians and our foreign friends, he is going to finish off these terrorists. He alone can do it.
