For admitting that his government has failed in securing the lives and property of Nigerians, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, on Saturday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to do the honourable thing and resign after he admited.
Secondus reacted to the President’s admittance that his administration has failed in providing adequate security to Nigerians.
Secondus said since the buck stops on the table of the Commander-in-Chief, the President should accept his failure and stop looking for excuses.
The PDP boss said in a statement from his media office that rather than the belated lamentation after 67 months in power that he has been unable to perform, Buhari should do the honourable thing and resign so as to make way for fresh ideas and new vitality.
Prince Secondus recalled the advice of President Buhari while in opposition in 2013 to the then President Goodluck Jonathan saying ‘Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country. ‘
According Secondus, this competent hand happened to be President Buhari whose five and half years in office have left the country comatose in all ramifications.
“I find it extremely unacceptable that after the President disregarded all wise counsel to rejig the nation’s security architecture for effectiveness, he is now turning round to admit their failure and blame operatives whom he kept even in their apparent inefficiency.”
Prince Secondus however noted the honesty of the President in admitting the obvious failure of his government to secure the nation, but insisted that he must walk his talk by doing the needful – give way for competent person(s) to come in.
