The Senate’s Minority Leader Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, at plenary on Wednesday, charged Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to either fix the growing insecurity in the country or resign immediately.
Abaribe, who is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the call when the Senate discussed a motion on national security challenges and the need to restructure Nigeria’s security system.
While making his contribution to the motion, Senator Abaribe, who was the first to contribute to the motion, faulted the president for failing to tackle the security challenges in the country.
He said: “If you want to treat an issue, you go to the head. We did not appoint the IG or the security chiefs. We will go to the president and ask him to resign. Nigerians voted APC because they promised to tackle insecurity but they have failed” Senator Abaribe said even as the Senate President Ahmed Lawan tried to stop him from speaking.
His call for the resignation of Mr. President comes barely 24 hours after President Buhari said he was surprised at the growing insecurity, and said his government will be “harder” on bandits.
