Insecurity: Resign now, Afenifere tells Buhari

*’If he has self-respect, he should resign… what is he presiding over? Is it over corruption, security, education?’

THE Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, today, joined groups calling on President Buhari to resign over the inability of his administration to curb the rising spate of insecurity across the country.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) had yesterday asked the president to step aside over lingering security crisis.

The Afenifere stressed that the Buhari administration has failed to address insecurity and economic challenges confronting the country.

According to the group, this is the best time for the President to resign honourably.

Speaking during the 95th birthday celebration of the former leader of the group and the dedication of a church in honour of Chief Reuben Fasoranti in Iju/Itaogbolu in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, today, Afenifere’s acting leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo said the Buhari-led government has incapacitated the country by failing to address the increasing wave of insecurity and downturn of the economy.

Adebanjo said: “I have told them that in a better and civilised country, he should have gone long ago.

“If he has self-respect, he should have gone because everything has failed.

“What is he presiding over? Is it over corruption, security, education?

“Law and order have broken down in the country for the past three years.

“It is only because Nigerians are over tolerance of despots, that is why he is still there.”
