…Says call does not represent opinion of the country
The Presidency has described Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe’s call on President Muhammadu Buhari to quit office over rising insecurity in the country as foolish and one which did not represent the opinion of the entire Nigerians.
It will be recalled that the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over the security situation in the country.
Senator Abaribe made the call while lawmakers were discussing a motion on national security challenges and calls for restructuring in plenary on Wednesday.
He explained that his call for the President to resign was because he had failed to solve the security challenges in the country, years after Nigerians voted the APC government into power to address it along with the power challenges in the country.
however, in a statement obtained by our correspondent on his official twitter handle on Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant (Media & Publicity) to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu while questioning the basis for call on President Buhari to resign however said that just because some characters thought that President Buhari should resign, then they expect him to quit.
Shehu stated that “that call does not represent the opinion of the country. This is the opinion of an arm chair critic, known for making stray comments.”
He maintained that if a leader like President Buhari needed to resign, there were millions of other Nigerians who need to resign, including Senator Abaribe who unlocked the door to enable the escape of “traitorous and treasonable suspects.”
According to him, “He signed the bond for the court to release Nnamdi Kanu on bail, from which moment the suspect disappeared into the thin air.
“Senator Abaribe has failed repeated deadlines to return Kanu to the court for trial, yet he has the effrontery with which to accuse someone of failing to the bidding of the law.
“This is a man who should have replaced the suspects he failed to produce in the correctional facility.
“Abaribe’s party raped the nation and left it collapsing in 2015 and President Buhari is fixing things up all the years he is in office.
“President Buhari is working hard to keep Nigeria and Nigerians out of the harm terrorists have unleashed in the entire Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa with the support of Nigerians and our foreign friends, he is going to finish off these terrorists. He alone can do it.”
