The Northern Elders Forum has demanded the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over the failure to address security challenges in the country.

Spokesman of the forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said President Buhari has failed as the Commander-in-Chief and should resign immediately as there are no signs of improvement in the security of the nation.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed made this call on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, adding that Nigeria is losing the war against terrorism in the northeast.

He said “We are exercising our democratic right to say to a President that he has failed, he should resign. There is nothing wrong with that. Buhari was elected to perform the job, he hasn’t performed the job. We are asking him to resign.’’

“Are we winning this war or we are losing it? The truth is that we are losing this war because of an enemy that they described as anything else other than the equivalent of our military. They cannot be as good as our military.”

Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum said living in Nigeria is more dangerous under President Buhari-led Federal Government.

He lamented that the nation’s military is being overwhelmed as it is involved in fighting insurgency in the northeast, banditry in the northwest among other operations.

“Under President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria has become increasingly more dangerous for Nigerians to live in,” he said as reported by Solacebase.

Baba Ahmed remarks is coming five days after Boko Haram terrorists killed 43 farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State.
