Insecurity: Act fast or resign, CSOs tell Buhari

A coalition of over 80 human rights organisations under the aegis of the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (NCSSR) on Tuesday expressed disappointment over the poor state of the nation and the worsening insecurity that had taken place in Nigeria during the first and second quarters of the year.

The organisation, therefore, advised President Muhammadu Buhari to act fast or resign because it was obvious he had failed the country.

The NCSSR said these during a press conference on the state of the nation addressed by its Convener, Ene Obi, and co-convener, James Ugochukwu.

Beyond threats of impeachment of the President, the activists called on the National Assembly to intensify their oversight function on the Executive and exude that they are representatives of the people by protecting and representing their interests.

The organisation in the text of the conference read by Obi also asked the Senate to carry out “a thorough background check and scrutiny of the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari, to allay any political party affiliation or alignment by any of the nominees.”
