Train Attack: 2019 Supporter, Yakasai; Critic Afegbua, Ask Buhari To Resign

Two prominent personalities in the 2019 Presidential election, Salihu Tanko Yakasai who backed President Muhammadu Buhari and Prince Kassim Afegbua who was against him on Tuesday separately called on the President to resign following the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.

The two in two separate platforms said that it was evident that Buhari could no longer safeguard the country anymore.

Prince Afegbua in a statement made available to GreenWhiteGreen, GWG said:

“The Kaduna bound train attack is one bare-faced example of a presidency that has lost its compass and leadership roadmap. It is inhuman, agonisingly pulsating, and markedly wicked to continue to render condolence messages when the opportunity to arrest the situation is right within the purview of government.

“The train attack is the height of crass incompetence and failure of government to pursue its statutory responsibilities as encapsulated in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Once a government is unable to execute and fulfil its responsibility of ensuring welfare and security to lives and property, such a government has no business being in contention.

“In saner climes, such a president would ordinarily resign his position and apologise to Nigerians for failing to live up to its expectations. A failed president has no business in government. A president that has led the country to the precipice, rendering its citizenry comatose, killing productivity, and appearing helpless to solving the multiplicity of problems confronting it, has no business being in government.

“A train attack with several deaths, is a further confirmation that the country has gone bunkers.  

Yakasai on his part in a series of tweets called President Buhari as incompetent and demanded that he resign from office.

He wrote: “President @MBuhari your government has failed us. We will continue to remind you this. I am reiterating my call for you to resign! If you can’t secure us we don’t want you there anymore. You lack empathy, you lack emotions, & you do not value our lives. #BuhariMustGo.

“Anytime Nigerians are killed, @MBuhari through Garba & Femi will release a statement & call for security meeting in the Villa. Some actions will be taken but wont be sustained, only for another attack to happen & they repeat the process. This cannot continue! #BuhariMustResign.

“We are angry, we are mad, and we don’t want anything again but for @MBuhari to resign! It’s clear that you can not secure us. We don’t feel safe anymore in our homes let alone on the streets. We are frustrated, tired & can’t go on like this. #BuhariMustResign.”

The demand on Buhari to resign follows nationwide outrage over the train attack by bandits that has left several casualties.
