The Chairman of the Katsina State Chapter of the National Conscience Party, NCP, Abdulmumini Shehu Sani, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to resign and attend to his health issues.
Recall, that Katsina is the home State of Buhari.
Sani’s call is coming on the heels of a remark by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, that his principal will not resign, and that those asking him to do so, were “merely expressing their opinions.”
He noted that those playing with the health condition of the President, were only bent on destroying the nation and the President himself.Reacting, Sani said Buhari cannot hold Nigerians to ransom with his health condition, as there were other people better positioned to lead Nigeria.
According to Sani: “In whatever situation of life, health matters, and you cannot lead without proper health. You cannot be a dictator or mentor without proper and adequate health. And you cannot think and do the right thing without health.
“Let’s look at Nigeria as a whole that comprises over 180 million people, inasmuch as the leader (Buhari) is incapable based on his health status, let us follow the rule of law constitutionally, for him to resign.
“His incapacitation cannot take us anywhere. It is better for him to resign. I can call him my father, because he was a school mate to my late father, Shehu Sani, at the Government College, Katsina. But the truth is the Nigerian Constitution should not be manipulated to favour one person.
“If we want to be fair to ourselves, he should resign; he is not the only one that can lead Nigeria to the right direction. Let him resign and go back to his family, so that he can receive proper medications, so that he will be free from the burden of tension from Nigerians and recover.”
