‘Buhari Has Failed Woefully, He Has To Resign’ – Sule Lamido

Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, has chastised President Muhammadu Buhari over his management of the country’s affairs.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, Lamido said Buhari has turned a deaf ear to the yearnings of the people.

Lamido, who bemoaned the killing of farmers in Borno state, implored the president to ask for forgiveness for the alleged offenses he has committed.

He also said that the government is being sabotaged, noting that something is “wrong somewhere”.

“There is no way a government can go successfully without sabotage but you need to be strong enough to overcome such challenges. If really, he cannot withstand this he has to resign, but we can’t be accepting sabotage as a reason,” he said.

“He has failed totally. If not that he has failed, how will you allow some people to slaughter 43 people? How will you allow bandits to raid villages and set them on fire and rape their women? Definitely, something is wrong somewhere.

“Allah is merciful to his servants, we hope our prayers will be answered, but Buhari has to go first. He should ask himself what offenses has he committed. He needs to wake up at midnight, drop his arrogance and pray. He should ask for Allah’s forgiveness for the offenses he has committed”

The peoples democratic (PDP) stalwart said Buhari is arrogant, adding that the president treat the people with condescension.

“He is arrogant and always speaking with pride. Many people have said it and we have seen it. Four years ago, if you had said something like this, you would have been abused but now the truth has come.”

“The problem is that he doesn’t listen to what people are saying, but everyone has spoken out. People are tired, the Ulamas, the masses, and the traditional leaders… have spoken out.

“When Buhari was sick Nigerian prayed for him and they are still doing but he failed to address their challenges.”
