Nigerian journalist and Chief Executive Officer of RadioNow, Kadaria Ahmed, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to go on sick leave and allow somebody to run the affairs of the country, due the deteriorating security challenges.

Ahmed has been in the news for describing a recent BBC documentary on Zamfara banditry as “irresponsible reporting”.

In an opinion article published last week, Ahmed said the BBC documentary fell below the best practices of journalism, and was against public interest.

She said the BBC Africa Eye may be charged with aiding terrorism because it “glamorizes” terrorism by “providing” a platform for the terrorists to express their extreme views, and an insensitivity to their victims.

The federal government through the Minister of Information, Lai Muhammed, also threatened to sanction BBC and Trust TV for “glorifying terrorism” in their banditry documentaries.

Speaking with Arise TV on Thursday, Ahmed said her concerns over the documentary was not intended to excuse the government on its responsibility of safeguarding the lives and property.

She said, “I think Nigerians ought to tell their politicians that it is time to have a bipartisan approach to insecurity, because it is something that is going to consume us. Even now as it is consuming us, we are not asking who is PDP or who is APC. And this continuous politicisation of insecurity, for me, portends a serious danger to Nigeria.

“The grandstanding doesn’t make sense to me, because we are dealing with an existential threat, something that could actually wreck us all. I am not too sure we could get to elections, which is what people are holding onto, and saying, ‘if we get there maybe the new people coming in…’ but what happens between now and elections is a long period.

“So, our politicians need to become a little more aware, and even if it is behind the scenes. I am not even sure if we need to be seeing them on TV working things out, no. Please go behind the scenes, sit down, and reach a bipartisan agreement about how you’re going to deal with the crises that Nigeria is facing. We have never had it so bad. And if we are not careful, under their watch, we are losing this country. APC, PDP, all of them, so go behind the scenes.”

She also said that if President Buhari is sick and incapable of running the country, he should step aside and allow somebody else to take over.

“Even if it is a question of persuading the president. I don’t know, he has not been well, may be he can go on sick leave for an extended period and allow somebody else to have a go. Because by his own admission, he said something like ‘no country on its own can defeat terrorism.’

“What I am hearing is, ‘I am not too sure there is anything more I can do.’ That is what I hear when I hear that. So, may be it is time to look at other options,” she said.

Will He even listen? Can it be possible? Are they seeing the clear picture now?

I can't blame Buhari in all this, the blame should be on the National Assembly.

If president buhari should yield to this, we will ensure he is given the award of greatest president of Nigeria.
The Nation is on oxygen. Able hands who are alive are needed desperately.

All Agbado monster

They’re all starting to talk because his tenure is fast coming to an end because they know his days in Aso Rock are numbered. Nonesenses

Not a bad idea. Something like 6 months leave to rest PROPERLY.

That would be great, within few months Osinbajo the Vice President would have taken Nigeria out of this dungeon.

...and some did not deem it fit to put him forward to contest as President, but instead trying wickedly to give us a ...Walking dead to become our President...


GOD FORBID BAT-ing

Agbado Plus Cassava

Lol

Everyone is begging this disaster of a president to step aside. It's even annoying that he admitted to be tired but won't step down. Indeed, power intoxicates!

Kadaria Ahmed is 100% right on this one

Baba’s Security Strategy has fallen apart

Why?

Truvelisback:
Why?

If the president is not competent, is there job to remove him

Again, we wont forget the man who brought Baba who's Security Strategy has fallen apart, onboard.

Like the Kankafos of the Old Oyo empire, the man who brought Baba onboard should drink poison and die.

How would they remove him?

Another zombie on a crying rampage.
Una crying just dey start.

It is not those that selected and install the Aare Oona Kakanfo that perish it is the Aare himself that does


and even Ojukwu refused to do the honourable thing after losing

Thats what I am saying.

You and I are on the same ship.

The thing is that, Tinubu just like Jonah should either jump inside the ocean or allow others throw him overboard, if he has SHAME

Allow someone else to rule Nigeria? Yes, but not someone from the axis of evil (APC). Buhari's party can not rescue Nigeria from the quagmire it got the country into.

Trying to gather spilled liquid milk. Make una de Abuja ooo. Those that packaged this failed government and pushing another sick old greedy man will end up wailing and regretting their actions

Do You mean in the same way Ojukwu jumped in the Ocean after losing the Biafran War ?

But Ojukwu didn’t honourably jump in the Ocean instead he flew over it and landed somewhere in the Ivory Coast

Ojukwu died of old age, and was buried honorably be the Federal Government.

But the same can be said about a certain politician from the left hand side who grabbed the rat poison his wife set for rats, and drank it.

Are you talking about the Same Politician that Ojukwu called the best President Nigeria never had ?

He passed on Peacefully at the same age as Ojukwu

At least Ojukwu was man enough to admit he wished his People had one of Awolowo as their leader

Why do Eboes think short term like children? Drink poison and die?
I do not need to check to know where you are from
In your mind you are catching cruise when the consequences come you will say people hate you but what did you plant was it not hatred?
Karma is real. Cause and effect are inescapable. Your thoughts and words have the greatest impact in YOUR LIFE

Wise counsel but unfortunately Buhari's addiction to the seat of power will make him to forsake the advise
