•••SAY HE DOES NOT HAVE SOLUTION TO NIGERIA’S SECURITY CHALLENGES.
Northern Elders Forum has asked President Buhari to resign his position as President of Nigeria.
The Director, Publicity and Advocacy of NEF, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, asked the President to resign over the worsening insecurity occasion by persistent large scale killings in the country.
Baba-Ahmed noted that 1999 constitution operational in the country creates room for the President to resign if he is unable to rise effectively to the challenges facing the country.
“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 paralyzing vacuum at the highest levels of leadership, and they grow more confident and acquire more competence in subverting the State and our security.”
