The Senate chamber was today thrown into uproar after minority leader, Eyinnaya Abaribe call on President Muhammadu Buhari to tender his resignation letter over failure to tackle insecurity in the country.
Abaribe, who spoke after the Senate Leader, Yahaya Adamu moved a motion on the rising spate of insecurity in the country.
Abaribe said the attitude of the president to insecurity in the country, surprised him. He said those who live by propaganda will die by propaganda.
Abaribe said he was building up to the fact that they said Boko Haram have been defeated.
He said the hard work that was supposed to be done to secure the country was not done because of the propaganda. He said excuses for non-performance is now staring them in the face.
He said Niger and Jos killings by Boko Haram terrorists indicated that the insurgency war was far from over.
The Abia South senator said the opposition members in the National Assembly are of the opinion that Buhari should resign from office.
He said, “Nigerians will go to the government and ask the government to resign because they did not elect the chief of staff, the police IG, service chiefs and others.
“Nigerians voted a government into power. We are going with stones to stone them now because they have failed.”
When the uproar generated by Abaribe subsided, Senator Abdullahi Adamu said Abaribe’s submissions were unnecessary.
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, also appealed to his colleagues to approach the issue with caution.
