The Northern Elders’ Forum, NEF, has called for the
resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari, following the spate of insecurity in
the country.
NEF said Buhari should toe the path of honour and resign for
failing to ensure the security of Nigerians.
The forum made the demand while lamenting that the lives of
Nigerians no longer have value under Buhari’s administration.
Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the Forum, Dr. Hakeem
Baba-Ahmed also faulted the response of Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu to Boko
Haram killing of rice farmers in Borno State.
Baba-Ahmed, in a statement described Sani’s remark as ‘most
insensitive’.
The statement reads: “Northern Elders Forum (NEF) joins
Nigerians in expressing outrage at the killings of farmers in Borno State and
many other people on a daily basis in many parts of the North. Our voices have
been raised without pause for a long time against pervasive insecurity in our
region.
“These particular killings have been greeted by the most
insensitive response by spokespersons of the President. The lame excuse that
farmers had not sought permission from the military to harvest produce merely
exposed the misleading claims that our military had secured vast territories
from the insurgency.
“Under this administration, life has lost its value, and
more and more citizens are coming under the influence of criminals.We do not
see any evidence of a willingness on the part of President Buhari to honour his
oath to provide security over Nigerians.
“In civilized nations, leaders who fail so spectacularly to
provide security will do the honourable thing and resign.”
