The New Nigeria Peoples Party chapter in Katsina State has demanded that President Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (ret.) step down immediately due to his failure to secure the nation. Sani Litti, the state chairman of the NNPP, made the statement on Monday during a news conference in Katsina, alleging that more than 50,000 Nigerians have died as a result of banditry since 2015. In light of this, the chairman instructed the National Assembly to begin the impeachment process against the President if he refused to step down. He also demanded that a state of emergency be declared due to security concerns in the states of Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara, Niger, and Sokoto.
"We reiterate the call for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign from office immediately for his failure to secure Nigeria," he said. The prevalence of insecurity issues is primarily a result of poor governance, which includes a rise in poverty, unfavorable economic policies, a decline in peoples' standards of living, a rise in ethnic militias, an uptick in corruption, crime and criminal activity, a rise in drug use, among other factors. "In the event that the President refuses to step down, we implore the National Assembly to use constitutional means to protect Nigerians' lives and property. "The Nigerian government must immediately announce a state of security emergency in the following states: Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara, Niger, and Sokoto. In addition to hiring mercenaries for six months to combat banditry, rebels, and tribal militias, Litti encouraged the Federal Government to recruit one million young Nigerians and train them as special forces in order to safeguard the nation once the mercenaries leave.
In this regard, we are urging the Federal Government to recruit mercenaries as soon as possible for a period of six months to combat the escalating banditry, insurgency, and tribal militias. To preserve and secure the nation once the mercenaries depart in six months, the government should urgently recruit one million young Nigerians to be trained as Special Forces.
