The Presidency has described as foolish, Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe’s call on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over the state of insecurity in the country.
Abaribe made the call while contributing to a debate on the state of insecurity at the plenary of the Senate on Wednesday.
He said the president had failed to tackle the problem of insecurity hence he should leave.
But in a response to the call, the Presidency dismissed Abaribe as an arm chair critic known for “stray comments.”
In a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the Presidency said his opinion did not represent that of the country.
The Presidency said rather, Abaribe should resign for unlocking the door to enable the escape of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement by the Presidency reads:
SENATOR ABARIBE’S CALL ON PRESIDENT BUHARI TO RESIGN IS FOOLISH
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.
