The former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians over the security situation in the country.
He sais the President cannot continue to speak to Nigerians through his spokespersons — Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu.
Melaye spoke on Friday during an interview on Africa Independent Television (AIT).
He said: “President Buhari needs to speak to Nigerians directly; he needs to communicate with the media. Our President is absent, and this has negative concomitant effects on the war against insecurity in the country.
“It is very pathetic that our President is not available. All we hear is presidency says; we didn’t vote for Garba Shehu or Femi Adesina.
“All our security challenges boils down to leadership failure. This man has shown more than enough evidence that he has no capacity to run this country.
“President Buhari should, in the interest of children yet unborn, in the interest of Nigerians that are dying, excuse us. It is simple, he should resign.
“It is expected they will speak like that, because both chambers of the national assembly, the leadership of the national assembly is a creation of the villa, as we speak now, National Assembly is a department of the villa
“It is evident in the National Assembly’s decision not to impeach Buhari despite the array of insecurity and gross display of incompetence by this government.”
