The Presidential Candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to resign following the scenario that played out during the
2019 budget presentation to a joint session of the National Assembly on
Wednesday.
Atiku said in saner climes, the
expected outcome of the event, would have been immediate resignation.
The former Vice President said
this in a statement signed by the Special
Adviser on Youth of Atiku Abubakar’s Support Groups, Ambassador Aliyu Bin
Abbas.
The statement reads, “President
Muhammadu Buhari’s emphasis that the world is watching while the Legislative
Arm disagreed and indirectly passed a vote of no confidence on him is a clear
indication of his failure and incompetence.
“That majority of the country’s
lawmakers disagreed with Mr. Buhari should have told him that there is loss of
confidence in his administration.
“What he ought to have done was
the needful, instead of attempting to whip up unnecessary sentiments by
repeatedly saying, ‘The world is watching’.
“Was the world not watching, when
this present executive arm of government led by Buhari blatantly refused to
respect other arms through arm twisting and intimidation?
“The same Buhari with impunity
refused to respect the Judicial Arm when they granted bail to Dasuki.
“The same government failed to
realise that the world is watching when they blatantly looked the other way as
Nigerians are dying daily of hunger and deprivation as a result of the
government’s insensitivity and incompetence.
“The world will actually be
expecting Mr. Buhari to see the hand writing on the wall that Nigerians from
all demographics are completely tired of him and are gearing up to oust him through
the polls.
“Buhari should also remember that
as we go to the polls, the world will be watching, hence there should be no
attempts of subverting the will of the people as the world will back Nigerians
to vehemently reject and attempts to illegally prolong his stay in power.
“Just as we wait for Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar whom we are optimistic as a result of his popularity will trounce
Buhari at the polls to be sworn-in in 2019, we call on Nigerians to be patient
and do the needful during the polls.”
