Terrorist Attacks: Buhari Told To Resign Immediately Or Be Impeached

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) called on President Muhammadu Buhari to step down or face impeachment on Wednesday due to what they claim is his ongoing inability to take effective action against terrorists.

Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, the national coordinator of HURIWA, claimed in a statement that the military and the Buhari administration are okay with the recent wave of terrorist attacks because they haven’t used their twelve Super Tucano fighter jets to combat the insurgents who are turning Nigeria into another Afghanistan.

Recall that terrorists reportedly killed two policemen on Tuesday when they ambushed the advanced security convoy of Buhari near Dutsinma, Katsina State. Before the President traveled to his hometown for Sallah, the authorities were making their way to Daura.

The Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory was also assaulted by terrorists on Tuesday, who are accused of releasing prisoners and killing security personnel.

Zubairu Abdulra’uf, a community leader in Kaduna State’s Birnin Gwari Emirate, recently disclosed that farmers in the region paid robbers over N400 million in exchange for permission to continue their farming operations.

HURIWA’s Onwubiko said, “These major incidents are too heavy to be ignored. Terrorists are becoming daring because the government is in bed with armed Fulani terrorists.

“These bandits were designated as terrorists by a Federal High Court in November 2021 but eight months after, the government has not taken any definitive military actions to stamp them out.

“In fact, the 12 Super Tucano fighter jets bought from the United States have not been deployed against the terrorists in the North-West despite that the court judgement ordered the government to do so.

“The failure and inaction of the government have buoyed the heinous and condemnable crimes of the terrorists who now make a fortune from the odious venture of kidnapping Nigerians and have gone as far as collecting taxes like in Kaduna where farmers have so far paid N400 million in protection tax to Fulani terrorists.

“Similarly, attacks on prisons have grown so much under Buhari. There have been about 15 jailbreaks in the last five years under Buhari and over 3,400 inmates have fled.

“Buhari has failed Nigerians and himself. This is the time for either Buhari to resign or he be impeached if the National Assembly members can grow ball. They must do it or else Nigeria is doomed and over 200 million refugees will flow out of Nigeria.
