The Advocacy for Integrity and Economic Development (AIED) has called on
the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to
declare the office of the President and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria
vacant.
In a statement made available to the press on Monday and signed by its
Director of Media and Publicity, Comrade O’Seun John, AIED stated that the
unabated massacre of helpless Nigerians across the country and most
importantly the North East and North Central is a clear indication that
the control of the country is “no longer” in the hands of President
Muhammadu Buhari, urging the leadership of the National Assembly to step
in and save whatever is left of the nation’s sanity by declaring the
office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria unoccupied.
“We consider the continuous massacre of majorly vulnerable citizens across
the country and predominately the North Central as a strong indication
that our country is no longer in the hands of President Buhari.
“It is impossible to imagine that over 200 Nigerians can be slaughtered
within a week and the occupant of the office of the Commander-in-Chief has
taken no evident steps into ending the menace.
“The situation in the North Central is beginning to take the footing of
genocide as against the claim of clashes.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has failed in his sacred duty to protect the
lives and properties of Nigerians. The people can no longer be subjected
to what is looking like a state sponsored attack being perpetrated by
Herdsmen who are allegedly getting the support of Service Chiefs and top
officials in the Presidency.
“We therefore find it of immediate national importance to call on the
leadership of the National Assembly to convene an emergency joint plenary
to declare the office of the President vacant and place all Service Chiefs
under arrest for treason,” the statement read.
