The convener of pro-democracy group, Concerned Nigerians,
Deji Adeyanju, on Thursday challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to come out of
hiding in Aso Rock and lead the fight against the Coronavirus.
Adeyanju enjoined Buhari to show leadership in tackling
COVID-19, which has claimed the lives of many Nigerians.
In a statement he signed, the activist said Buhari’s alleged
lackadaisical attitude of addressing Nigerians every two-weeks was
unacceptable.
According to Adeyanju: “The President needs to show
leadership. Every day, we watch the American President, Donald Trump,
addressing Americans and meeting with his cabinet on efforts being made to
curtail the virus from spreading. This lackadaisical attitude of addressing
Nigerians every two weeks by President Muhammadu Buhari in such a time like
this is totally unacceptable.
Adeyanju stated that Buhari should resign if he’s afraid of
getting infected and leading the country during this trying time.
He said: “If President Buhari is afraid of getting infected
or leading the country from the front, he should resign so that a more
competent hand can take over. This is not the time to be hiding under the bed
in Aso Rock. Thousands of citizens will die if the President doesn’t show
leadership. Come out of hiding.
“The President has not convened the Federal Executive
Council meeting for weeks now. He should do that immediately either through
Skype, teleconferencing or physically at the villa to set out clear cut agendas
to prevent more unavoidable deaths of Nigerians and spread of the virus. The
president should not leave the country on autopilot without clear direction or
leadership.”
