The Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, on Wednesday, asked the President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government to as a matter of urgency resign honourably over the mounting insecurity and killing of Nigerians.
He said his position was predicated on the fact that it failed to deliver on the promises made to the people in 2015 and 2019.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement that he was surprised at the rate of insecurity in the country was indeed perplexing to him and Nigerians.
Speaking on the floor of the Senate to kick start debate on the Motion entitled, ” Nigerian Security Challenges: Urgent need restructure, review and reorganise the current Security Architecture, Senator Abaribe warned that Nigerians are coming with stones to chase out the government since it has failed in all its ramifications to protect lives and property against the backdrop that the government had once asked the people to stone it if it fails to perform.

Abaribe who spoke immediately after the Senate Leader, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, All Progressives Congress, APC, Kebbi North moved the Motion said: “We did not vote the IG of police, we did not vote the Chief of Staff or other security chiefs, we voted the government of APC in 2015 and re-elected them in 2019 because they told us they have the key to security.
“Today, the APC government has failed because people are being killed anyhow. If you want to deal with a matter, you first go to the head. We can go to the APC government and ask this government to resign.
“And we want to tell the government that if it does not resign, we shall have no option than to go with stones to pursue it.”
Speaking further in Nigerian’s Pidgin English, he said: “Mr President, this your surprise, surprise me.”
He reminded the APC government that it has asked Nigerians to stone them if they fail to deliver on security.
