According to the Senate Minority Leader, Buhari has been lying to Nigerians by claims he made on the defeat of Boko Haram terrorists.
The senator accused Buhari’s administration on surviving on propaganda at the expense of Nigerians that voted them into power.
Abaribe, who noted that Nigerians were suffocating and under siege, added, “Those who live on propaganda shall die by propaganda. Defeat is staring us on the face.
“Nigerians did not elect the Chief of Staff, Nigerians did not elect heads of Security, Nigerians elected President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and in 2019.
“As it is, we are facing the head of the Nigerian government and this is President Buhari. He should resign with immediate effect.”
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, at some point interjected, and stopped Abaribe from speaking further.
Lawan advised that the security situation in the country should not be politicised.
