The Northern Elders Forum has again renewed its call for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, the spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said fact on the ground has supported their calls for the President to resign.
“The fact on the ground supports what we are saying. The President swore under Quoran to protect the lives of citizens. He has failed to do so,” he said.
“This is his fifth year in office. The situation under him is getting worse and there is no indication that it is likely to improve.”
The northern elders had issued a statement earlier today faulting the Federal Government’s approach in tackling the numerous security challenges in the country.
In a statement, the forum said life had lost its value under President Buhari’s administration, noting that the threat of farming in Northern Nigeria was real in the face of limited production of food in many of the communities.
Baba-Ahmed, who signed the statement on behalf of the northern elders, lamented the constant attacks and killings of innocent citizens.
