The Coalition of
Concerned Northern Youths, CCNY, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to
honourably resign as Nigeria’s President, adding that he has failed woefully.
The Coalition, in a
statement signed by its National Convener, Muhammed Ishaq and made available on Wednesday, cited the President’s lack of the will power to tackle
the security challenges facing the country.
This call by the
youths Coalition followed a similar call by the Ango Abdullahi-led Northern
Elders Forum, NEF, which had at the weekend declared the administration of
President Buhari a total failure.
The group said it
had warned Nigerians that Buhari has nothing to offer to them, adding that the
President has failed to tackle insecurity and improve the economy.
NEF said Buhari-led
government appeared helpless in finding solutions to the numerous challenges
the country is faced with
The Northern youths
added, “The above named coalition wishes to make its position clear regarding
the insecurity problem that has been ravaging Nigeria particularly the Northern
part for long.
“We, as a coalition
that represents millions of youths from various nooks and crannies of Northern
Nigeria, are pained by the insecurity problem that threatens to consume our
region, the North.
“It is a glaring
fact that security situation of Nigeria is seriously deteriorating and our
agony as victims is aggravating.This lingering insecurity problem is one of the
major reasons that made us to clamour for change and voted Goodluck Jonathan
out in 2015.
“But instead of
getting panacea for the problem, we just got respite and now the problem has
been resurfacing with escalating dimension under the watch of someone that
vowed to be our saviour.”
The group noted that
is almost five years now and the country under the watch of Buhari is either
worse than the Jonathan administration or it is no different from the previous
government despte the fact that in his first term, “Buhari pledged that his
government would bring an end to the national suffering inflicted by
insecurity.”
“Our stance as
youths and backbone four nation is that we grow tired of excuses while our
lives are being taken on hourly basis.
“We cannot continue
watching while our region is being turned to ashes and cemetery.
“We cannot keep mute
while our futureis being punctured and fractured due to the carelessness and
negligence of those that are entrusted with our protection.
“Our investigation
revealed that about 80% of the victims of this insecurity are Nigerian youths particularly
Northerners considering the fact that the kidnapped and the kidnappers are
mostly youths,the killed and the killers are mostly youths, the soldiers on
warfront and the terrorists are mostly youths also.
“It is on reliable
and available records that not less than 245 persons were killed in violent
attacks across Nigeriain January 2020 only.
“The Expat Insider
Survey of 2019 by Inter Nations has revealed that Nigeria is the third most
dangerous country in the world due to widespread insecurity and corruption.
“The aforementioned
facts have irrefutably shown that Muhammadu Buhari as President of Nigeria has
woefully failed to secure the lives of Nigerians due to probably lack of will,
commitment or competence.
“If we did not
forget, when Nigeria was boiling under Jonathan with Boko Haram massacring
thousands and over runing-military barracks, almost all Nigerians believed
Jonthan was not fit to rescue Nigeria and was voted out.
“Now that the same
insecurity problem is replaying itself under President Muhammadu Buhari,we are
left with no option than to repectfully but vehemently call on President
Muhammadu Buhari to honourably resign to give room for someone who has what it
takes to address the security problem that constantly turns our nation to
another version of Somalia.
“The above call is
made in the best interest of the nation having considered the fact that
insecurity problem is caused and maintained by nothing but the failure of
leadership.”
