National Chairman of the National Conscience Party, Dr Tanko Yinusa, said that the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari has been overwhelmed by the insecurity in the country.
He advised that the President needs to convene quickly security and political summit to save the country from falling.
Tanko said the inability of the government to protect the citizen had led to self help by the citizens.
His words: “The Nigerian state at the moment is in dire need of help and the government should not be ashamed to seek help from those they have neglected.
“Government have allowed the issue of insecurity to stay for too long without taking a decisive action and if care is not taken, more situations will arise because of the way the government is handling insecurity in Nigeria.”
On the call for Buhari’s resignation, Yinusa said “The accusation is that the President has been lackadaisical in dealing with the Fulani herdsmen crisis, banditry, kidnappings and insurgency.
“Some of the bandits have revealed that it was some of the politicians that armed them during elections and they want to teach some of them a lesson because they abandoned them after achieving their aims.
“Kidnapping has moved from groups to individuals, becoming a recurring decimal even in neighbourhoods.
“The tide must be stemmed. We need to deal with hunger, corruption, accountability and incompetence lacking in this government.
“Anybody who does not have a solution to Nigeria’s teething problems does not have business being in power. If a leader cannot deal with a problem as it rears its head, the problem may consume such a leader.”
