President Muhammadu Buhari has been asked to resign from office if truly he is a man of integrity as he claims.
Concerned Nigerians, a civil society group championing the #resumeOrResign protest made this call on Thursday at the fourth day of their protest at the Unity Fountain, Maitama
The group accused aides of President Muhammadu Buhari of “holding him captive.”
The coalition reminded Buhari that he once asked late President Musa Yar’Adua to resign or be impeached when the latter was sick in 2010, stressing that he should toe the path of honour by doing so.
Addressing newsmen at the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja on Thursday, the convener, Deji Adeyanju, said Buhari should leave office if he knew what integrity meant.
He said, “We must tell the man (Buhari) who said he had integrity, the man who asked Yar’Adua to resign in 2010 when he was sick, the same thing he said to the late president is the same request we are making to him. A President that has been sick for 94 days would resign if he has integrity.”
The activist added “posterity would be unkind to all those that visited Buhari but failed to advise him to do the right thing because of selfish reasons.”
