Senator Abaribe’s call for President Buhari’s resignation is foolish, Presidency hits Abia’s politician
*Says he carries opinion of an arm chair critic known for making stray comments
*Abaribe should have replaced Nnamdi Kanu he failed to produce in correctional facility – Shehu
“Senator Abaribe has failed repeated deadlines to return Kanu to the court for trial, yet he has the effrontery with which to accuse someone of failing to the bidding of the law.”
The Presidency, on Thursday, hit back on Abia senator, Oyinnaya Abaribe, for daring to wield the effrontery to accuse President Muhammadu Buhari for purportedly failing to the bidding of the law this asking him to resign.
In a statement signed by Senior Special Assistant to the Nigeria’s President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER on Wednesday, the seat of the Senate Minority Leader, Abaribe, and his cohorts were mocked and dismissed for thinking so low that, according to the statement, they expect President Buhari to quit office just because “some characters think that President Buhari should resign”.
Shehu added that before a leader like President Muhammadu Buhari would resign there are millions of other people, including Senator Abaribe, who should resign.
“President Buhari to resign on what basis?” He asked a mocking question.
The statement read: “Just because some characters think that President Buhari should resign, then they expect him to quit. That call does not represent the opinion of the country. This is the opinion of an arm chair critic, known for making stray comments.
“If a leader like President Buhari needs to resign, there are millions of other Nigerians who need to resign, including Senator Abaribe who unlocked the door to enable the escape of traitorous and treasonable suspects.
“He signed the bond for the court to release Nnamdi Kanu on bail, from which moment the suspect disappeared into the thin air. Senator Abaribe has failed repeated deadlines to return Kanu to the court for trial, yet he has the effrontery with which to accuse someone of failing to the bidding of the law.
“This is a man who should have replaced the suspects he failed to produce in the correctional facility.
“Abaribe’s party raped the nation and left it collapsing in 2015 and President Buhari is fixing things up all the years he is in office.
“President Buhari is working hard to keep Nigeria and Nigerians out of the harm terrorists have unleashed in the entire Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa with the support of Nigerians and our foreign friends, he is going to finish off these terrorists. He alone cannot do it,” the statement said.
