Jonathan should resign and give way to competent hand to rule Nigeria – Buhari

Former Head of State and national leader of he Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Maj Gen Mohammadu Buhari has not given up in his campaign against President Goodluck Jonathan’s led administration, as he has again called for the immediate resignation of the President over his inability to tackle the security challenges facing the country.

“Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country”He said.

Speaking to newsmen at his residence in Daura town yesterday, General Buhari said the issue of security was a fundamental duty of any responsible government, but Jonathan failed to protect the lives and the property of Nigerians since he assumed power.

“When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’adua. An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north, members of the sect were killed,” General Buhari lamented.

“And when the police failed to address the insurgency, soldiers were invited and they captured the Boko Haram leader, Muhammad Yusuf alive and handed him over to the police. But Yusuf was eventually killed, his in-law too was killed and their houses were demolished”, he said.

Buhari said the murder of the Boko Haram leader however provoked his followers and that was what took the country to its present situation. He suggested that government should adopt a new approach that will end the insurgency without affecting the lives and property of innocent Nigerians.
