Buhari: Northern Group Calls For President’s Resignation, And Power Shift To Osinbajo
The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
Baba-Ahmed said Buhari should just resign now because things would get tougher.
The former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Secretary gave the advice in reaction to the President’s revelation that he is eager to leave power.
Buhari spoke when he hosted some All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, legislators and chieftains at his Daura home in Katsina.
Noting that he has less than a year left in office, the Nigerian leader assured that he would do his best in the remaining months.
Recall that President Buhari said recently that “I wish the person who is coming after me the very best. I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough”, he said.
Reacting, Baba-Ahmed told Buhari that it’s not too late to throw in the towel. “President Buhari told APC Govs that he is looking forward to the end of his tenure, saying it has been tough.
“Who would remind him that he does not need to wait until May 29th, 2023? Who will tell him it looks like things will only get tougher?”, he tweeted.
“If he will not, or cannot, he can yield the office to his Vice until 2023.Then he can start resting now. That’s how it works.”
