A group of Northern youths, under the aegis of Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, has said that following the security challenge that has engulfed Nigeria, most especially Northern Nigeria which is now the epicentre of kidnapping-for-ransom, the best option for President Muhammadu Buhari was to humbly resign.
The group said Nigeria has lately been turned into an abattoir where citizens were killed for simply daring to travel on roads that were constructed from the taxes they paid to the government.
In a statement signed by its president, Isah Abubakar, yesterday in Kaduna, the group said; “The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria is constrained to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to humbly resign since it is obvious that he has run out of idea on how to subdue the terrorists that have taken over significant parts of Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Zamfara states and the busiest Kaduna-Abuja expressway on one side, and recently, the daring attacks by Boko Haram/ISWAP which has continued unabated.
“It is embarrassing that President Buhari is idly watching the terrorist elements reigning supreme in our country, imposing taxes on his supposed citizens, stopping them, yet he is unperturbed. This is the clear characteristic of a leader that has run out of steam.
“In the alternative where he fails to eat the humble pie, we wish to call on the National Assembly to expedite action and initiate processes of impeachment against the President. Nigerians will certainly stand with them. This will equally help in redeeming the damaged reputation of the National Assembly.
“Where the above recommendation fails, Nigerians should do everything possible to defend themselves, we can’t continue to watch anarchy reign supreme over us, while we sit like cowards to be killed. It is better you are arrested and kept in prison for daring to defend yourself and than to be buried in a grave because you didn’t dare to do something. Enough is Enough!”
