“Buhari Must Resign”- Northern Elders Forum

Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari should tender his resignation and give room for a more savvy individual to steer the ship of Nigeria’s fortunes.

The group said the President has failed in his primary responsibility as chief security officer and as the Commander in Chief.

The was disclosed by the spokesman of the group, Hakeem Baba Ahmed, who was speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

He insisted that the present state of affairs in the country buttresses their calls for the President to resign.

“The fact on ground supports what we are saying. The President swore under Quoran to protect the lives of citizens. He has failed to do so,” he said.

“This is his fifth year in office. The situation under him is getting worse and there is no indication that it is likely to improve.”

As gathered by Eko Hot Blog, in the wake of the dastardly massacre of 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari by Boko Haram insurgents, the Northern Elders Forum had issued a statement, criticizing the President’s strategy in tackling insurgency and banditry in Northern Nigeria.

Recall that about 43 innocent farmers were beheaded on their farmland in Borno State at the weekend as they were in the process of harvesting their farm produce.

Although, Governor Babagana Zulum told journalists that the insurgents killed 43 residents of Zabarmari in their farm, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has flawed the governor’s account, boasting that his terrorist group killed over 78 persons.
