The Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West on Monday called on the President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to resign from office following alleged inability to stem the tide of killings across the country.

The Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the region, Sanya Atofarati, lamented that the killers were now turning the heat on the military and security agencies, leaving citizens helpless and hopeless.

He advised the Federal Government to seek foreign help on insecurity in the interest of peace and socio-economic development of the country.

He said, “It is gross incompetence on the part of the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress Federal Government that Nigeria has become a graveyard.”

Atofarati spoke in a statement titled, ‘Killing spree: Why Buhari must resign now’, made available in Ado Ekiti in reaction to recent attacks by bandits and gunmen on military formations, police stations and personnel.

He stated, “Between 2015 and now, more than 20,000 Nigerian’s have lost their lives to the inability of government to protect lives and property of her citizens, ranging from Jihadists Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram to bandits/highway kidnappers to military and police.”
