Terrorist attacks: HURIWA Calls For Buhari's Resignation, Says He Has Failed Nigeria

The civil rights advocacy group national coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, Wednesday, in a statement accused the president and the security agencies of being soft on terrorists "as they have failed to deploy the 12 Super Tucano fighter jets against terrorists,ÔÇØ thus turning the country "into another Afghanistan.ÔÇØ

Recall that terrorists on Tuesday attacked the advanced security convoy of Buhari near Dutsinma, Katsina State, allegedly killing two policemen in the process.

Terrorists also attacked the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday, allegedly freeing inmates and killing security agents.

Recently, a community leader in the Birnin Gwari Emirate of Kaduna State Zubairu Abdulra'uf revealed that farmers in the area paid about N400 million to bandits in order to be allowed to carry on with their farming activities.

Onwubiko said, "Buhari has failed Nigerians and himself. This is the time for either Buhari to resign or be impeached if the National Assembly members can grow ball. They must do it or else Nigeria is doomed and over 200 million refugees will flow out of Nigeria.

"These major incidents are too heavy to be ignored. Terrorists are becoming daring. These bandits were designated as terrorists by a Federal High Court in November 2021 but eight months after, the government has not taken any definitive military actions to stamp them out.

"In fact, the 12 Super Tucano fighter jets bought from the United States have not been deployed against the terrorists in the North-West despite that the court judgement ordered the government to do so.

"The failure and inaction of the government have buoyed the heinous and condemnable crimes of the terrorists who now make a fortune from the odious venture of kidnapping Nigerians and have gone as far as collecting taxes like in Kaduna where farmers have so far paid N400 million in protection tax to Fulani terrorists.

"Similarly, attacks on prisons have grown so much under Buhari. There have been about 15 jailbreaks in the last five years under Buhari and over 3,400 inmates have fled.

"Buhari has failed Nigerians and himself. This is the time for either Buhari to resign or he be impeached if the National Assembly members can grow ball. They must do it or else Nigeria is doomed and over 200 million refugees will flow out of Nigeria.ÔÇØ

The group also questioned the continuous staying in Office of Rauf Aregbesola, asking,
"why is the Minister of Interior still on seat?ÔÇØ
