Things are getting worse everyday. This is really sad and very unfortunate,\u201d he told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat could we expect when President Buhari refused to hand over power to his Vice when he traveled. Garba Shehu has taken over from Osinbajo. He is now the Presidency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Buhari is now ruling by proxy. Where are we really heading to in this country? APC has actually bastardised governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings have fallen apart, the center can no more hold. The hoodlums, insurgents, bandits and unknown gunmen have taken over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow on earth can we comprehend a situation whereby hoodlums sang solidarity song for thirty minutes at Government House roundabout, went ahead to operate for two hours without visible resistance and 1844 inmates were set free, we really need to shed tears for Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery soon Government Houses will be invaded, it\u2019s a matter of time. I\u2019m beginning to believe that President Buhari can no longer handle the affairs of this nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact remains that we are now like a country without a leader. What is Buhari still doing in UK when he is supposed to come back to Nigeria and rescue his subjects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue is that Nigerians are really tired of Buhari. It\u2019s most unfortunate that the National Assembly has become very inactive in confronting President Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne would have expected them to be proactive in gingering the President to act decisively or in the alternative commence impeachment proceedings against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne could remember how Buhari tackled Jonathan in 2014 as a result of insecurity. The situation is now worse. It\u2019s time for Nigerians to prevail on Buhari to resign if he can\u2019t secure Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly we can\u2019t continue like this. This government is now becoming bloody. Nigeria is falling apart. In the circumstance, one will still suggest the need for National Security Summit, NSS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t just fold our hands and allow bandits and hoodlums turn Nigeria into a war theater. Buhari should either step up or step down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
