Borno massacre: Do the honorable thing and resign – Northern Elders tell Buhari
The Northern elders forum (NEF) has called out president Muhammadu Buhari to honorably resign like any president that has failed to secure his people.
According to the group, their call for the President’s resignation follows the killing of 43 farmers in Borno by Boko Haram insurgents and the rise in insecurity in the country.
In a statement by the Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the Forum, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, he lamenting that the lives of Nigerians no longer have value under Buhari’s administration adding that the response of Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu to Boko Haram killing of rice farmers is most insensitive.
“Northern Elders Forum (NEF) joins Nigerians in expressing outrage at the killings of farmers in Borno State and many other people on a daily basis in many parts of the North. Our voices have been raised without pause for a long time against pervasive insecurity in our region.
“These particular killings have been greeted by the most insensitive response by spokespersons of the President. The lame excuse that farmers had not sought permission from the military to harvest produce merely exposed the misleading claims that our military had secured vast territories from the insurgency.
“Under this administration, life has lost its value, and more and more citizens are coming under the influence of criminals. We do not see any evidence of a willingness on the part of President Buhari to honour his oath to provide security over Nigerians.
“In civilized nations, leaders who fail so spectacularly to provide security will do the honourable thing and resign, the statement reads
It has never been so bad like this before in Nigeria
The high level of insecurity is alarming and annoying
What a trash
The curt president has shown that he is incompetent and so therefore should honorably resign
like seriously is this coming out u peoples mouth or is that am not getting it right
Have we ever experience any presidents whoever resign amid crisis in Africa? No. They don’t have have human feeling that is why they behaving in that way. Our leaders are so wicked.
Is just too bad that the President is not performing as expected. He has killed the trust we had in him.
You people should better call president buhari to order and talk to him where it’s needed, because if care is not taking the terrorist will will wipe out the entire country.
He is one of you and you should know how to talk to him, there are elders in the northern and you should be able to talk to him. The state of insecurities in the country is awful.
You are just talking with an ordinary mouth, those security chiefs are not up to their task. They are just like figure head, killing everyday is outrageous in the country.
It seems Nigeria is trying to rise again to be one. The Nothern tribes taught that Buari is for the North and the Muslims. Now they are understanding he is for the Fulanis and he is out to colonize and put under control the remaining land Dan Fodio could not Emirnize The Fulanis are not genuine Muslims. They are pagans using Islam to achieve their evil, tyrannical agenda. If not how could Fulanis that’s showing themselves to be costordian of Islam in Nigeria … A RELIGION OF PEACE be shedding blood as if human beings life has less value than the life of their cattle.
That will be good thing if he can follow the advice and resign honourably…..
Hahahahaha I thought he is your God father
