The Northern Elders Forum has taken a swipe at the
President Muhammadu Buhari administration over the 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.
He 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.
“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,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“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.”
Nigeria More Dangerous To Live
Speaking further, he 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.
Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed on December 2, 2020 called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over the security challenges
in Nigeria.
“Under President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria has become
increasingly more and more dangerous for Nigerians to live in.
“The military is also involved in the northeast. They are
fighting bandits, they are fighting bandits. They are doing
everything, both what they are supposed to do and what the police
should do,” he added.
His remarks come five days after Boko Haram terrorists killed 43
farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State.
Following the attack on Saturday, many Nigerians including the
National Assembly members called for the sack of the nation’s
service chiefs for failing to tackle the security challenges in the
country.
