Insecurity: Buhari Is Not Invalid – Fayemi

Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, Kayode Fayemi, says President Muhammadu Buhari is capable of delivering on the responsibilities of his office.

Fayemi stated on Channels Television on Sunday this while reacting to a statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the House of Representatives declaring the President as incompetent over his failure to secure lives and property in the country.

The Ekiti State Governor said the president is committed to defeating the insecurity challenges confronting the country.

“I meet President Muhammadu Buhari from time to time on behalf of my colleagues and there is nothing to suggest that the President is (an) invalid or incapable of delivering on the responsibilities of his office,” the Ekiti State governor said.

Fayemi urged the opposition lawmakers to be constructive in their criticisms of the president.

He said, “Our country has challenges and let’s deal with the challenges. We may have subjective or objective criticisms of the president, that is within the realms of politics and public service and I am sure the president doesn’t mind that. However, when we want to do it, let’s be constructive. It’s the Office of the President that you are denigrating when you do that; it is not his person.”

“If the PDP caucus in the House of Reps feels they are empowered to start an impeachment process, that is their prerogative but the matter of security is beyond partisan politics.”
