Melaye said Nigerians Voted For Buhari Not Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina.

Former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians directly.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain who made this call during an interview on Africa Independent Television, said the President is “absent and unavailable”.

Melaye added that the president cannot continue to speak to Nigerians through his spokespersons.

The Senator stressed that Nigerians did not vote for Shehu Garba and Femi Adesina.

According to him, Buhari’s silence is detrimental to the war against insecurity in the country.

He said, “President Buhari needs to speak to Nigerians directly, he needs to communicate with the media.

“Our president is absent, and this has negative concomitant effects on the war against insecurity in the country.

“It is very pathetic, but our president is not available. All we hear is presidency says, we didn’t vote for Garba Shehu or Femi Adesina.

“All our security challenges boil down to leadership failure, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is grossly incompetent, not capable and all I expect is that since this man has shown more than enough evidence that he cannot run this country.

“President Buhari should, in the interest of children yet unborn, in the interest of Nigerians that are dying, excuse us. It is simple, he should resign.”

In reaction to APC senators’ decision not to join their PDP counterparts’ call to impeach Buhari, Melaye said the 9th assembly is a creation of the president.

He added that they will always carry out the dictates of the presidential villa.

“It is expected they will speak like that, because both chambers of the national assembly, the leadership of the national assembly is a creation of the villa, as we speak now, the national assembly is a department of the villa.

“It is evident in the national assembly decision not to impeach Buhari, despite the array of insecurity, and gross display of incompetence by this government.”
