Following the killing of over 43 rice farmers in Borno by Boko Haram insurgents, the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign and allow a more competent hand to pilot the affairs of the nation.
Renewing its call for the resignation of Buhari, the group said the President has failed as the Commander in Chief.
The Spokesman of the group, Hakeem Baba Ahmed, said this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
He insisted that the fact on ground has supported their calls for the President to resign.
“The fact on ground supports what we are saying. The President swore under Quoran to protect the lives of citizens. He has failed to do so,” he said.
“This is his fifth year in office. The situation under him is getting worse and there is no indication that it is likely to improve.”
