The Northern Elders Forum on Wednesday asked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to resign.

According to the group, the President has failed in the two critical areas of security and economy and as such has ‘nothing new to offer’ Nigerians.

NEF Spokesman, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this tonight on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme monitored by The PUNCH.

He said it is disappointing that after over five years of being in office, Buhari still hasn’t delivered on the promises he made to Nigerians when he was first elected in 2015.

Baba-Ahmed noted that Buhari had asked his predecessor, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, to resign in 2013 over growing insecurity in the country and so, it is not out of place to demand that he resigns over the same security challenge.

He said, “We will continue to ask that he (Buhari) resigns. He is a democratically elected president. We wish he is doing better but he is not. Ordinarily, under a democratic system, a leader is supposed to deliver, he is supposed to do two things – he is supposed to secure citizens and he is supposed to facilitate their economic welfare. He (Buhari) hasn’t done the first and he is not doing the second. So, explain to me on what basis President Buhari should continue to be our president?

“However, it is his right to continue to be the president even if Nigerians are unhappy and unsatisfied with what he is doing, that is his right but we will not keep quiet; we will continue to speak up that he has failed Nigerians, he is failing Nigerians and under a democratic setting, we have to raise our voices and say, ‘Mr President, you are just not good enough for this country’. That is just the simple truth.

“We have respected the President, we understand the difficulty he is facing and we understand how difficult it is to tell him to resign but we also have the democratic right to tell him, ‘Sorry sir, you cannot run this country, you have been given five, six years to do so and the situation is just getting worse and we believe that you have nothing new to offer and the only way is for you to resign’. We believe we are speaking for millions of Nigerians.”

Earlier, the northern elders said life has lost its value under the Buhari regime while condemning Saturday killing of at least 43 rice farmers by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.

This is blasphemous.

Anyone who comes up with this agitation should be seen as an enemy of the north.

Buhari has favoured the north with juicy appointments and concentrated key national projects. These has since brought a desired transformational effects on the region.

The key and juicy appointments being held by the northerners is a testament that all the reports of insecurity in the norther is to defame Buhari's government.

No one can convince me that the stable peace in Katsina is not a product of Buhari's indigenship of that state. Likewise, the utter decimation of Boko Haram in the NE is a witness that Buratai is an indigen of Borno state.

So, calling for Buhari's resignation should be condemned by all well meaning Nigerians.

Sometimes I just sit on a chair, put my legs on a table and pretend I have the answer to the question on how on earth human beings with functional brains would vote for an entity like Buhari to be President.
