Fasehun, OPC founder, explains Why President Buhari should resign

President and founder of Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC), Dr. Fredrick Fasehun , has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to honorably resign from office.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, the OPC leader said that it was now evident that Buhari was medically unfit to continue in office.
Fasehun says: “Resignation is the right thing to do for a head of state who loves the nation. When the head is bad, the entire body is bad.
“Nigerians have been praying for him for the past three months but it is now clear that his personal health is more important to him than power.
“It is unfortunate that Nigerian lawyers are not giving proper advice on Buhari’s illness. They are not giving legal education to Nigerian people. They are not defending the Constitution as it should be defended. They just allowed Nigerians to ponder with their legal illiteracy by keeping quiet.”
He faulted the attitude of Nigerian doctors for keeping quiet over Buhari’s health. “I am a medical doctor and I wonder what British doctors have been doing and we Nigerians allow things to go on as if nothing has happened. Nigerians as a whole forget that it is not the day he is discharged that he will start work. He would be given time for recuperation.
“If he has been ill for four months, British doctors are not so careless as not to give time for recuperation. This can only be tolerated in Nigeria. Presidents in other countries would have resigned without waiting for the people to protest. There is a cabal that got together to ensure he does not resign but stay put in office.
‘’Many practicing Nigerian doctors and I studied in Britain with those treating him and we attended same class and we use to beat them in class. They are not better than us”. He said.
