Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign as president over rising insecurity in the country.
Abaribe, a former Deputy Governor in Abia state, in clear terms said the President has failed Nigerians in his primary mandate which is security of lives and properties.
Crimefacts.news reports that the Senator made the demand on Mr. President while contributing to discussions Wednesday on a motion on national security challenges and the need to restructure Nigeria’s security system.
Abaribe said it was glaring that the security architecture of the country has failed under President Buhari and there was no sign of any diligent and genuine effort to reset the system and guarantee a measure of security to Nigerians who are increasingly becoming despondent.
The senator was outraged by the president’s recent claim that he was surprised at the rising insecurity in the country.
Abaribe also had a few words for Femi Adesina, the Presidential Media aide, for referring to the Christian Association of Nigeria as a political party following their condemnation of killings by Boko Haram.
His word: “If you want to treat an issue, you go to the head. We did not appoint the Inspector General of Police or the security chiefs. We will go to the president who appointed them and ask him to resign”.
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, was evidently uncomfortable with the submission of Abaribe and repeatedly interrupted him directing him to focus on the solution to the insecurity.
But Abaribe digged in: “Nigerians voted APC because they promised to tackle insecurity but they have failed”, the senator stressed.
