Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to calls for his resignation.
In recent times, there have been calls for the resignation of the President over the heightened level of insecurity in the country.
Reacting to the call for his resignation, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed said President Buhari will complete his tenure.
Speaking at a meeting with the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigerian (NPAN) in Lagos on Thursday, December 3, Mohammed said the calls for the president’s resignation were political.
He described it as cheap and irresponsible to ask a president to resign before he completes his tenure over the killings of some farmers in Borno State.
Mohammed said: “In the wake of the killing, there have been calls in some quarters for Mr. President to resign.
“Well, let me say here that this call amounts to playing dirty politics with the issue of security, and it is cheap and irresponsible. Mr. President was elected in 2015 for a four-year term and re-elected in 2019 for another four-year term.”
Mohammed insisted that no amount of clamour for resignation will stop the president from serving his term, adding that calling the President to resign anytime there is a setback in the war on terror amounts to needless distraction and cheap politicking.
