Summon Courage To Put Nigeria To A Vote, Nnamdi Kanu’s Counsel Challenges Buhari

Special Counsel to the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to summon the will to put the existence of Nigeria to a vote, saying the country is irredeemably divided along ethnic and religious lines.

He was reacting to Buhari’s public outcry recently where he said he is eager to retire to Daura, his country home in Katsina after the expiration of his tenure next year.

Ejimakor tweeted, “Buhari cries out: ‘I am eager to go, Nigeria has been tough’. No sir. Nigeria is beyond tough; it’s irredeemably divided along ethnic & religious lines. And the fix is not to ‘cut & run’ but to summon the will to put Nigeria to a vote.”

Buhari had said he can’t wait to leave office in 2023 because it has been tough.

The President spoke when he hosted some All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, legislators, and chieftains at his Daura home in Katsina.

Noting that he has less than a year left in office, the Nigerian leader assured that he would do his best in the remaining months.

“I wish the person who is coming after me the very best. I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough”, he said.
