President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to a call by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that he should resign due to the alleged spate of corruption in his government.
Speaking on behalf of the Party at a press briefing on Friday, PDP's Secondus accused the Buhari led government of supervising re-looting of the National treasury and advised Buhari should do the honourable thing by resigning as an elder statesman.
He noted that the current investigation ongoing at the National Assembly shows that the government has no head.

Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu,issued a press statement...a
He said: “It a time when the whole world is unifying to confront a common enemy, Nigeria’s opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has launched a whirlwind campaign promoting undemocratic values, the latest manifestation of which is the call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s resignation for allowing audits and investigation into several agencies of government, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“Based on the statement issued by the embattled chairman of the Party, Prince Uche Secondus, it is clear that they would have liked the President to not investigate but to cover things up: to not wake the sleeping lion as voiced by another of their leaders.”
“President Buhari will not resign. He is determined to continue the crusade against corruption, both legacy and recently unearthed cases, that are found to be shabbily handled, and in some cases unattended to by past administrations.
Shehu stressed that the opposition party can’t scare the government from probing the “grave allegations made against MDAs and their chiefs because failure to do so will amount to a historic betrayal of public trust.”

Nigeria has not gotten to that point where a Local government chairman resigns when he's not performing well let alone a whole president.
ReplyDeleteTheir greed won't let them resign.
Graba shehu your Buhari has failed, you,him & APC should hide your faces in shame instead of talking rubbish.
DeleteThank you babe. They rather die than resign.
DeleteThank you babe. They rather die than resign.
DeleteI think it should be Garba Shehu says the president will not resign. I dont think Buhari is even aware that PDP says he should resign. Our president doesn't act like he knows what's going on in Nigeria.
DeleteThat is how Abacha too refuse to step-down.......
DeleteDie there naa,thief
DeleteStella we no longer think, we have concluded that he should resign.
ReplyDeleteHe is fighting corruption but surround himself with looters.
The day an African leader resigns then the world is coming to an end. Even when they have completely failed their people, they will shamelessly remain.
DeleteI give it to this people 😂. Even if PMB was caught with his hand in the pot of soup, Garba Shehu will still release a statement that PMB, being the next Christ, was ready to sacrifice his life to ensure that the Nigerian people weren't going to be poisoned
ReplyDelete*these people
DeleteWhat is to fight against corruption when he is the corruption himself 🚶🚶🚶🏽♂️
