Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Dr. Junaid Mohammed, elder statesman and Second Republic federal lawmaker on Thursday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign from office if he cannot take decisive actions to se­cure the future of Nigeria.

Speaking with Daily Indepen­dent, Junaid condemned the al­leged indecision of President Bu­hari in resolving the #EndSARS protests which rocked the country a fortnight ago and led to massive destructions of public and private assets in Lagos and other parts of the country.

According to Junaid, the Buhari administration is giving in to blackmail and his lack of firmness in tak­ing critical decision may spell doom for the country.

“The government is giving in too much to blackmail and if Buhari is not prepared to confront the reality of the gov­ernance of this country and maintain peace, he should resign”.

Junaid who said President Buhari won’t be the first dem­ocratically elected president to resign cited the example of Richard Nixon, former presi­dent of the United States who resigned in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal.

“He won’t be the first dem­ocratically elected president to resign. Richard Nixon was elected by overwhelming ma­jority but he was forced to re­sign when he made some false moves. Resigning voluntarily is part and parcel of demo­cratic culture of any country on earth".

“So, if Buhari can’t do the job he was elected to do, let him give way. These people who started this agitation and scoundrels like Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB must be confronted. If you don’t confront them, they will keep coming and the more they come back. So, it is up to the government to do what is right; that is if they know what is right to do”.

Speaking further on the #EndSARS protests, Junaid said the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), codenamed Operation Amotekun did not live up to its responsibilities during the #EndSARS protests mayhem in Lagos and some South- West states.

Hoodlums, who seized the #EndSARS protests, un­leashed an orgy of violence resulting in the destruction of public and private assets.

Junaid also condemned pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, and its leader, Chief Ayo Adeban­jo, whom he said threatened South-West governors with revolt if they failed to estab­lish Amotekun in their re­spective states.

According to him, “These characters in Afenifere under this Ayo Adebanjo are mak­ing noise and saying public­ly that if Yoruba governors don’t create Amotekun, they are going to incite their peo­ple against the government. A responsible man will never say this.

"If they want to create a crisis because you don’t like some people, fine. Other people will also create their problems. We were told that Amotekun is a harmless but effective security organ­isation. Now we are having #EndSARS crisis with loot­ing and arson, have you seen one Amotekun official or a single vehicle anywhere in the South-West? They simply disappeared".

“Let me tell you this and I have been saying it in the past 30 years. If every state in Nige­ria can take care of their own security, Kano my home state and Lagos can never do that because they don’t have the manpower. Kano and Lagos people don’t join the police force because they are mostly business people and traders".

“I want to throw a chal­lenge to the Federal Govern­ment. Let them withdraw all the security operatives in Lagos and Kano. Let’s see how there will be peace there”, he said.
