Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, on Tuesday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over his administration’s inability to address insecurity and economic challenges confronting the country.
While speaking at the 95th birthday anniversary of the outgoing leader of the group, Chief Reuben Fasonrati, and dedication of a church in his honour in Iju-Itaogbolu in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, the new leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said the Buhari-led government had incapacitated the country and had failed to address the increasing wave of insecurity and the downturn in the economy.
Adebanjo stated that the president had failed the people of the country and there is no better time to leave but now, noting that Buhari’s government could no longer handle the situation.
He said: “I have told them that in a better and civilised country, he should have gone long ago. “If he has self-respect, he should have gone because everything has failed.
“What is he presiding over? Is it over corruption, security, education?
“Law and order has broken down in the country for the past three years.
“It is only because Nigerians are over tolerance of despots that is why he is still there.”
He lambasted the youth for failing the country and said “the younger generation has failed the country.
“If Nigerians are conscious of their right, and they know what to do but where is the demonstration in the country that Buhari government must go?”
He, however, expressed optimism that there is light at the end of the tunnel, saying “as a Christian, I still have hope.”
