President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to resign since he has amitted that the Presidency is tough and that he is “eager to go”.
A group under the eagis of Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA), made the call, saying the Nigerian leader should be honest enough to resign now and remain in Daura, his hometown.
Said Buhari to his people in Daura, Katsina State: “In ten to eleven months’ time, I will come here. I have a better house in Kaduna, but it is too close to Abuja.
“I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough…”
Reacting, HURIWA, wondered why the President could still hold on to power if he was this tired, admonishing him “to immediately resign so he does not create additional burdens that may be too tough for the incoming administration to confront”.
The group expressed the feeling that the current administration had not only endangered national security interests by the alleged nepotistic appointments, but was comfortable working with saboteurs.
HURIWA appealed to Buhari to be a statesman by tendering his resignation from office now to stave-off greater disasters that awaited the nation.
The Rights group regretted that as stated in a report from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria had lost more than 80 percent in foreign investments in the last three years.
HURIWA, citing official statistics, disclosed that capital imports into Nigeria had dipped by 81.46 percent, about $6.91 billion from $8.49 billion in the first quarter of 2019 to $1.57 billion in the same period of 2022, as disclosed by a data from the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The group said that in the NBS data, Nigeria’s capital imports reports for four years said there was a steady drop in capital in-flows into the country.
HURIWA further accused Buhari of destroying the national economy over his administration’s alleged failures to defend the country from external and internal terrorists.
The rights group cited the CBN’s latest Monetary Policy Committee meeting (MPC), when it stated that an unconducive domestic investment climate was affecting foreign capital in-flows into the country.
Furthermore, HURIWA described as the “worst show of shame”, Buhari’s unwillingness to take measures to stop the incessant industrial actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
