- Sen Abdullahi fires back
The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to step down as President following the rising spate of insecurity in the country.
The senator representing Abia South in the National Assembly accused President Buhari of not doing enough to address the security challenges in the country.
Reports of killings in different parts of the country have made the headlines in recent weeks, with many calling for the resignation of Nigeria’s security chiefs.
Speaking on Wednesday, Abaribe 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.”
But swiftly, Senator Adamu Abdullahi representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District countered Abaribe.”
Abaribe, who called for the immediate resignation of President Buhari and the APC also reminded the party that they had asked to be stoned in the event of poor performance.
He had made the call in his contribution to the Senate debate on the spate of insecurity bedeviling Nigeria.
Abaribe had alleged that the Buhari government failed in securing lives and properties as promised before the 2015 and 2019 general elections.
Reacting to Abaribe’s submission, Abdullahi said the Senate Minority Leader should be called to order.
Abdullahi said: “I take exception to the contribution by the minority leader. Abaribe should be called to order. His call for the use of stone means calling for weapon against the ruling party”.
