Why President Buhari Must Resign Now – Arewa Youth Leader, Yerima Declares

National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Shettima Yerima, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign now.

According to AYCF leader, age and health have limited the performance of the president and there is need for him to give up leadership for a younger hand.

The AYCF leader speaking with SaharaTV, said the Buhari-led government had failed woefully in terms of security and employment, stating that the country has been bleeding while the president goes about attending parties.


 “The situation is really sad and uncalled for. It is a challenging period for the nation, no doubt. Bloodletting everywhere, coupled with poverty and unemployment. If the government was up and doing, the situation would have changed.

“From my observations, I think the killings in the nation is a script people are working on to disunite Nigeria and they are trying to align it to a particular ethnic group or religion. Call them Fulani or whatever, a criminal is always a criminal and should be treated as one.”

The youth leader added that lack of proper coordination among security agencies had also contributed to the lingering security menace.

 “If you look at it critically, the public don’t event have confidence in the system. They have no confidence to challenge the security agencies whenever they fail.

“To an extent, you don’t expect anything good to come out of this.”

 Yerima touched on the controversy trailing the attendance of the president at a recent wedding in Kano, Yerima said it was uncalled for.

“To me, there’s nothing wrong in attending a wedding, but it was a wrong time for him to go when the country is boiling. An injury to one, is an injury to all. Why going for a wedding with 25 governors while there are blood all over the country. I think it is uncalled?”

Talking out the question of the president to run in 2019, Yerima said it would do him good to honourably bow out.

“To me personally, I think the best thing for him to do is bow out and handover to the younger generation.”
