Pan Yoruba socio-cultural organisation Afenifere has urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to resign but to use the remaining months in office to implement reports of the 2014 National Conference and the El-Rufai Committee on True Federalism.
It said both reports, if implemented, would provide solutions to the challenge of insecurity.
Secretary General of Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni, in a statement in Akure, said statements credited to Buhari during the Sallah celebration were amusing.
Ebiseni stated the President merely lamented the six-month strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, without proffering any solution or giving any assurance on how soon the youths would return to school.
He said: “The Daura lamentation is both an admission of incapacity and failure, the natural consequence or effect of which is to take a bow and relieve himself of further torment by a duty of mutual disaster to the labourer and more so to the farm owners.
“The call, only two months back, for a Government of National Unity, or for the resignation of the President would have no doubt found justification in this admission. Yet the situation today is quite different from the factors that made such suggestions then plausible.
“Rather than chicken out, Buhari could still, within the remaining months, rally his government, including the distraught National Assembly members to leave last-minute legacies that will temper the harsh verdict of history.”
