The embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, on Wednesday advised President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office for running “a system that does not have the interest of the country at heart”.
Addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for a second term, the Speaker said should the president fail to do so, Nigerian voters should vote him out in the February presidential poll.
“I call on President Jonathan to resign from office because of all the mis-governance and the untold hardship Nigerians are presently passing through.
“If he fails to do that, it is, therefore, incumbent on us as a people to turn out en-masse and vote out Goodluck Ebele Jonathan come 2015. That will bring peace, progress and development of Nigeria.
“I am sure that (Kwara) state will provide such leadership to the extent that we shall deliver this country to the government at the centre to APC.
“By voting APC at the centre, you will be voting for prosperity and eradication of poverty. What we are witnessing today in Nigeria is not governance, but mis-governance.
“We are witnessing a system that does not have the interest of the people of this country at heart”, he stated
The Speaker described Kwara State’s political history as a rich one, saying the foundation of the political struggle and the structure laid by the late Olusola Saraki was being sustained by God.
Tambuwal added that with the support of the people, the APC would “form 100 percent of the government in the state from the local council to state Assembly and to the Government House”.
