Hajiya Asiya Buhari Wants President Jonathan To Resign

With on-going insecurity issues in some northern states in Nigeria and last week recent attack on Former Military Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(rtd) The wife of former military head of state,  Hajiya Asiya Buhari, yesterday released a statement condemning the assassination attempt on her husband in Kaduna last week.

She further asked Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, to hand in his resignation if solving the insecurity crisis has become impossible for him.

Even though her husband has run for the nation’s top job three times, Asiya Buhari is hardly known by most Nigerians as she has mostly operated from behind the scenes, but she made an exception in this instance.

In her statement, she drew the president’s attention to the example of former South Korean prime minister, Jung Hong-won who resigned over his government’s handling of the ferry accident in that country which left more than 300 people dead.

“As he saw grieving families suffering with the pain of losing their loved ones and the sadness and resentment of the public, he took responsibility as prime minister; he apologized to his country and resigned because of service to humanity,” she said.

She called on Pres. Jonathan to “emulate such a leader, because Nigerians have been dying daily, for the four years, hoping that government is going to do something but we are tired of this insecurity and increased attacks on innocent people. Where is Jonathan? What is he doing? If action is not taken now, when? It is not enough to verbally condemn; action is long overdue.”
