The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign amid a worsening security situation in the country.

Kachikwu in a statement issued stated that the attack on the convoy of the President on its way to Daura, Katsina State as well as the simultaneous attack on Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja, were clear indications that the country is currently faced with a grave security threat.

He wondered who is safe in the country if the President’s convoy could be attacked and a correctional centre, “which was just a few kilometers to the seat of power held hostage by terrorists.”

Kachikwu insisted that the twin deadly attacks have once again exposed the nation’s weak security architecture which Buhari has failed to strengthen amidst clamour by citizens.

He said: “The events of the last 24 hours have once again, exposed the weak underbelly of our nation’s security architecture. Some members of the President’s advance team were slain while the Kuje prison in our nation’s capital was attacked and scores of prisoners released by terrorists.

“This is indeed, another low moment in the series of low moments under the Buhari administration. I sympathize with the families of those killed in the line of duty.”

Kachikwu, therefore, urged Buhari to do the need by resigning, having failed in his constitutional duty to protect the citizens.

“I once again call on President Buhari to do the honourable thing and resign since he can no longer secure the Nigerian people,” Kachikwu said.

Kachichwu decried the plight of Nigerians in the current administration, stressing that government’s ineptitude has placed heavy burden on the people. He expressed worries that terrorists are becoming so daring by the day while the government appeared overwhelmed.

“Nigerians are paying a huge price for Buhari’s inept leadership. If the terrorists are now bold enough to attack the President’s convoy and the heavily guarded prison just a few kilometres away from the Aso Villa, who then is safe in Buhari’s Nigeria? Kachikwu asked.
