“Buhari Has Admitted He Cannot Protect Nigeria” — Northern Elders, Afenifere, Others
Leaders and Elders of Nigeria under the aegis of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Afenifere, Ohaeneze Ndigbo, Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF and Middle Belt Forum, Thursday took a swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari saying he has again admitted that he does not have the wherewithal to protect Nigeria and Nigerians.
They have however reiterated their collective position that Nigeria at the moment and with the unfolding scenario, coupled with what they termed, inept leadership, needs a new leadership from next year that understands what the duties of a responsible and responsive government is.
According to the leaders and elders, they were totally disappointed and embarrassed that President Buhari has again gone to the global stage to restate his position that terrorism and insurgency in the Sahel region and Lake Chad Basin are fuelled by local runaway fighters from Iraq and Syria and arms from the disintegration of Libya.
The leaders said that the position of the President was obviously what they described as a disingenuous way of explaining the failure of leadership of Nigeria under him to fulfill the elementary obligation of any constituted authority -protecting the lives of its citizens .
A statement jointly signed by former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark; Leader of Northern Elders Forum (NEF) , Professor Ango Abdullahi; Leader of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; President- General of Ohanaeze, Chief John Nnia Nwodo and President, Middle Belt Forum, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, read, “The Nigerian Leaders and Elders Forum is totally embarrassed that President Muhammadu Buhari has gone to the global stage once again to restate his position that terrorism and insurgency in the Sahel region and Lake Chad Basin are fuelled by local runaway fighters from Iraq and Syria and arms from the disintegration of Libya.
“The President spoke in New York where he unfolded Nigeria’s positions on international matters before the global audience during the opening of the General Debate of the 73rd Session of the United Nation’s General Assembly (UNGA73).
“The position of the President is obviously a disingenuous way of explaining the failure of leadership of Nigeria under him to fulfill the elementary obligation of any constituted authority -protecting the lives of its citizens .
“In the last three and a half years,thousands of lives have been lost to bandits and terrorists with our government failing to apprehend any suspect except giving one excuse or the other for its inability to secure our country .
“The palpable failure of the administration has led many citizens including Lt Gen TY Danjuma to conclude that there could be some complicity between the terrorists and some members of our security forces .
“This is why it is so scandalous that the President would still be offering this jaded line a few months to the end of his tenure .Does he expect Nigerians to hold an appreciation rally that he is telling them that he knows where those killing them are from and he cannot do anything about it?
“It is more appalling that one of the major planks of campaign by the President in 2015 was to secure Nigeria.Is this how to secure a country? If a group of foreign gangsters decide to take over the government of Nigeria today, is it this kind of lamentations we would see?
“It is pretty clear Nigerians cannot have security under a President that admits this kind of abysmal failure and incapacity at a global stage. It is a confirmation of our position that Nigeria needs a new leadership from next year that understands what the duties of a responsible and responsive government is.
“We cannot continue to die daily as a people unprotected under this type of leadership for another four years after the first unfortunate four of this administration.”

According to the book of life, the holy bible, any nation that works against it self will definitely fail nd crash. Today, it is now obvious that the only hope is division which must certainly come. On Aburi i stand, therefore BIAFRA must exist. No pretence, no argument. Farewell Nigeria.

Noooo, u all there are not going anywhere. Stay put and enjoy it while it last. Bihari and its cow disease fulanis are not they ones holding u slaves hostage. The demons in zoo land are Yorubas. The moment yorubas desist from being gateway for these parasites called fulanis, the zoo land will get better. The yorubas are benefitting from the blood sheds. Folks, think of it, these wild vultures called fulanis are not from zoo land- they are nuisance from Guinea, Mali etc…. and been occupying, destroying zoo land for over 70 years now. How can foreign useless sub humans ended up controlling zoo land is eye popping. If u want change in zoo land, first get hold of yorubas and put some senses in their ugly skulls so they can join hands and chase these AIDS infested sub humans back to where they came from.
