Buhari Calls For President Jonathan’s Resignation “Step Down For Competent Hand To Rule”
May 23, 2013 – Buhari Calls For President Jonathan’s Resignation “Step Down For Competent Hand To Rule”
Former Head of State General Muhammadu Buhari has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office for his inability to tackle the security challenges facing the country.
“Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country”, he said.
Speaking to newsmen in his residence in Daura town yesterday, General Buhari said the issue of security is a fundamental duty of any responsible government, but Jonathan failed to protect the lives and the properties of Nigerians since he assumed power.
“When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’adua.
An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north members of the sect were killed,” General Buhari lamented.
“And when the police failed to address the insurgency, soldiers were invited and they captured the Boko Haram leader, Muhammad Yusuf alive and handed him over to police. But Yusuf was eventually killed, his in-law too was killed and their houses were demolished”, he said.
He said the murder of the Boko Haram leader however provoked his followers and that was what led the country to its present situation. He suggested that government should adopt a new approach that will end the insurgency without affecting the lives and properties of innocent people.
“In Bama and Baga towns, military personnel were reported to have been engaged in extortion and sometimes Molesting of women. And because a soldier was killed in Baga the whole town was sacked by military. This is not the best way military should have acted when they were sent to restore law and order in a town. How can a responsible government allow its people to be killed in this way,” he asked.
He warned that the police, SSS, army, navy and Air force should know how to conduct themselves and act professionally.
“The soldiers are not expected to go and sack a town because one of them is killed. They are expected to capture the culprits for prosecution. After all the soldiers are not meant to tackle internal crisis but when it is necessary they should act professionally.
“Whoever is sent to protect people should also protect their integrity. When the former England’s Prime Minister, Margret Thatcher decided to hold its political meeting in Brighton the security advised her to cancel the meeting because of the IRN rebellions, but she insisted and held the meeting. The hotel she was accommodated was bombed and some of her political associates were killed but soldiers did not condone the area and kill everybody there, rather they conducted themselves professionally,” Buhari said.

Gen. Buhari has now finally shown dat he is d brain behind dis Boko Haram of a thing. How can he equate d crises caused by d Boko haram sect 2 the 1 of the Niger Deltans. Firstly, MEND’s actions is very justifiable cos dey were fighting for their right. Their land was being damaged, their water contaminated n their crops were endangered. Yet, al dis went on without due compensation for having their lands explored. Secondly, they only asked 2 be in control of their natural resourses, which is a normal thing anywhere in the world. Now, what on earth can any sane person say that Boko haram is fighting for? Boko haram’s modus operandi is very different from that of MEND. They focused their operation in the killing n burnin of d innocent citizenry, bombing churches n govt. properties. Wot is justifiable in their deadly operations? Wot sort of amnesty should be granted to people whose hearts have been seared with evil?. Are they to be granted amnesty for killing n burning innocent citizens or better stil, applaud them by giving them national honours for the mayhem they have unleashed on people.
Boko Haram deserves nothing more than wot they are now getting from the millitary PERIOD.

Whatever names they called themselves or whatever point of view they hold, illegality/criminality cannot and should not be used to jeopardize the safety and rights of others. Things are going in the wrong directions in this country and we say we are a sovereign nation. Can anyone tell me what a real sovereign nation is and should Nigeria call herself sovereign when national security is nothing to write home about? Below is a link to the description of what soverign nation is https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Sovereign+nation

The problem should also be attributed to the FG inability to call for National Dialogue to address the issues of this country. Hausa man and their selfish leaders would only sit up wen they know what they stand to lose if the country should stop to exist as one nation. But bcos FG is afraid of them, compensating them for act of terror and treason, they’ll keep forming one religious sect and the other to frustrate peace loving Nigerians. Now, those caught in this emergency rule in the north are freed as ordered by FG; all the ruins are to be repaired by tax payers’ money, Southern oil money. Why wont they kill and destroy more? What are we not talking about? If we have president that is smart, buhari and co wud have been in prison long time ago. Itz a pity.

Yusuf, what is kidnapping and robbery compared to the irresponsible killing and maiming of thousands of christians by your bokoharam just becos they want the country to be ungovernable for an Ijaw president? Just think about it. Robbery and kidnapping is nothing compared to the crime your people have committed against Christians and other people in the north. To worsen it, you guys hire Niger and Chad millitants to snuff live off your fellow citizens. It’s a shame.

Chris you are right. Can you imagine what he is saying, that jonathan should step down for a capable hand to rule. If i may ask, who is the capable person? Or is aso rock an inheritance for the northerners? Or when the millitants were killing did they kill any hausa,muslim or burn any mosque? Be careful because look at your reward before you.

u Can go to HELL and Burn to Ashes. Your people Boko Haram claimed they will make Nig ungovernable for President Jonathan. The aim has always been to get him out of power for a northerner to rule. WAKA dia. Who says Presidency is only for the North?
If you are not happy about equal share of presidency let the south and east go their seperate ways without bood shed of possible and lets see how the North can survive on tomato and groundnuts. IDIOT thats what you are

Anyway, for those who have been canvassing 4 buhari, I’m sure he has opened up who he really is: a sect, bokoharam and hausa leader, not a national leader.

I pity this good for nothing animal or almajiri that calls himself buhari,whose father had sworn that he will never rule this nation again bcos of his disobedience to him.The God of christians is going to visit that your allah u mention every minute and we shall see who is more powerful. You are behind the insecurity we have in this country today, and you sit there full with fura & Nono in your stomach to talk rubbish. you and your colleagues (loosers of elections forever) should go to hell and burn to ashes, moreso go to that your aljanna that bears a female name called FIRDAUSI in the language you do not understand (ie arab language) and be the president to those your seventy virgins. The population is large enough to have a president,so go there and rule them.

instead of Buhari should talk to his brothers for them to stop the killing of christains come to think of it the are destroying their own land and killing their own brother cus i dont that every sucide bomb killing that nsome of their brothers will die also.let me ask this question since thirty four year 34 that the northern has rule is their anything like boko haram no is just because the east side have enter the sit that is why the want to bring jonathan down to say during his regime boko haram destroy Nigeria wether Jonathan is during his Work or not he must go for second terno cus all those who rule Nigeria was on that sit for eight year if Buhair like it or not He should tell their brothers to stop this kill and he will see that Jonathan will be a perfect leader.

Buhari is a frustrated MAD man! He should take his competency to his family n rule. As far as the president is not an Hausa man, we love n appreciate him. All buhari’s and other northerners efforts to frustrate him is in vain. Its even better we try dividing Nigeria between north and south. Let’s how those animal called Hausa will survive. Fools….

Hahahaha. Hehehahahaa. Buhari, buhari. You have finally opened up who you are: leader of bokoharams and terrorists. Whenever the wind blows, buhari’s stuff shows. I wonder why the FG has refused oris afraid to arrest Buhari and co. In so many countries Buhari would have been cooling his feet in prison. For those rooting for buhari, now you know who he is; he is the most unfit to rule this nation because he is a fanatical sect leader not a national leader.

It is unfortunate,a dissapontment for a former head of state[though a coup plotter]to be defending these devils. Called boko haram.Asking Good Luck to resign is not my problem after all he has refused to proof his competency ,but defending the satanic being -boko haram it is a shame.Buhari has actualy not hide his hatred for xtian religion,for about his political gimmick and his desperation to be president that made him to visit redeemption camp..the man is a fanatics.if not for the incompetency of the man without shoe ,why should anyone be thinking of the presidency going to the land of Boko haram come 2015.
