An erstwhile member of the House of Representatives from Imo state, Uche Onyeagucha, has called on President Bola Tinubu, to resign as President or form a government of National unity.
Onyeagucha made this call on Tuesday in Owerri while reacting to Tinubu’s broadcast intended to address the nationwide ongoing protests against bad governance in the country.
The former National Welfare Secretary of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, said Tinubu’s broadcast added “serious fuel to the flame.”

He said he was among the Pro-Democracy Activists during the Regime of General Sani Abacha, adding that in their quest for Democracy in 1995, they both attended the World Conference on Democracy in Washington DC sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy, NED.
Speaking further, Onyeagucha told President Tinubu that they were both formerly in the opposition political parties of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN.
According to him, Tinubu has united Nigerians with his bad government and hunger, expressing doubt if his appointees were telling him the truth about the state of affairs in Nigeria.
“Your contempt and/or ignorance about the level of hunger and anger against your administration was perfectly captured in your Broadcast to the Nation on Sunday, 4th August 2024.
“Your broadcast to the Nation has added serious fuel to the flame. The anger of Nigerians against you and your administration is now unparalleled. Mr President Sir, respectfully under the circumstance, you have only two options left”
“You should dissolve your Government immediately and proclaim the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). I pray that God will touch Nigerians to accept this option in the light of the contempt which you displayed against Nigerians in your Broadcast. You should resign as President and proceed immediately on Exile to enable Nigeria to start on a clean slate again. Sir, your failure to consider any of these options would very likely drive Nigeria into a Political, Economic, and Social crisis of huge proportion. I pray that you find the wisdom, courage, discipline, and statesmanship to act on my advice,” he said.
