Nigerians have responded to President Muhammadu Buhari’s choice not to resign in the face of escalating insecurity in the country.
Following the persistent attacks and killings in the North and across the country, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) called on Buhari to resign immediately.
President Buhari responded to the NEF by saying that his resignation call is not a solution to the country’s security problems, and that his government has taken major steps that will yield results in the fight against insecurity soon.
Insecurity: Buhari Reacts After Northern Elders Called For His Resignation
President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, said in a statement on Wednesday that he will not be drawn into a high-decibel media circus.
In a democracy, only unsuccessful politicians employ this type of publicity to engage with people, according to the president.
Some Nigerians, on the other hand, have gone to social media to criticize the administration for neglecting to confront the ongoing terrorist deaths of innocent Nigerians.
Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari praised the president for calling out Northern elders for playing politics with insecurity.
