The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has said that in civilized nations, a leader who fails to secure the lives and properties of his people would have resigned honourably.
The group
said this in a statement released by its the Director of Publicity and Advocacy
of the forum, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, on Tuesday, December 1, while reacting to
the recent killing of over 43 farmers in Borno state by Boko Haram members.
According to
the group, life has lost its meaning in the Buhari-led administration.
The statement
in part reads….
“These
particular killings have been greeted by the most insensitive response by
spokespersons of the president. The lame excuse that farmers had not sought
permission from the military to harvest produce merely exposes the misleading
claims that our military had secured vast territories from the insurgency.
Under this
administration, life has lost its value and more and more citizens are coming under
the influence of criminals. We do not see any evidence of a willingness on the
part of President Buhari to honour his oath to provide security over Nigerians.
In civilised
nations, leaders who fail so spectacularly to provide security will do the honourable
thing and resign.
