President Muhammadu Buhari should be impeached if he cannot solve Nigeria’s insecurity problem - Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

The Northern Elders Forum has allied with Nigerians in the call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s impeachment following his incompetence to find the solution to Nigeria’s insecurity problems.<br /><br />Speaking during an interview on AIT on Monday morning, the NEF spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated the nation could not wait two more years for the government to address the issues of insecurity.<br />He advised those who have constitutional responsibility to do something other than just talking and making promises.<br /><br />“One option we have is that the legislators will look at the record of the administration, understand the areas where the president has failed, understand areas where there is clearly no evidence that they’re going to do anything about it and refer to the constitution that says the whole purpose of government is to secure citizens and pursue their welfare,” Baba-Ahmed said.<br /><br />“If he (Buhari) fails to do that, for me, those are impeachable offences. In the last six months, two years, what has the president done different to secure the country? Absolutely nothing has been done and yet you see increasing failure of the state to protect citizens.”<br /><br />He said the second option is for citizens to get together and decide to do something.<br /><br />“The third option is that those leaders who are failing will recognize the fact that they are the problem, and they will resign because they clearly have nothing to offer in terms of leadership,” he said.<br /><br />“Or, as our democratic system provides, those with the responsibility to get them off, should impeach those who are failing. If the president can’t deliver, he should be impeached.<br /><br />“We don’t have a national assembly that appears to have the levels of patriotism and concern beyond partisan politics to realise that when this roof falls, it also falls on their heads.<br /><br />“Partisanship is so pronounced that the people we elected and sent to Abuja think they serve the president rather than the Nigerian people.”<b
