The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
on Wednesday, November 5, asked President Goodluck Jonathan to resign
from office “because of all the mis-governance and the untold hardship
Nigerians are presently passing through”.
During the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for a
second term at Metropolitan Square in Ilorin, Kwara
State, Tambuwal warned that if he fails to do that, Nigerian voters
should revolt against him at the February presidential poll, as the
Premium Times reports.
“That will bring peace, progress and development of Nigeria,” he said.
The Speaker had, at the APC extraordinary convention last week, said
the party would chase out the “cabal” running the country at the poll
next year.
“I am sure that (Kwara) state will provide such leadership to the
extent that we shall deliver this country to the government at the
centre to APC.
‘’By voting APC at the centre you will be voting for prosperity
and eradication of poverty. What we are witnessing today in Nigeria is
not governance, but mis-governance. We are witnessing a system that does
not have the interest of the people of this country at heart,” he said in Ilorin on Wednesday.
According to Tambuwal, Kwara State’s political history is a rich one.
He said the foundation of the political struggle and the structure laid
by the late Olusola Saraki was being sustained by God.
He also noted that with the support of the people, the APC would
“form 100 percent of the government in the state from the local council
to state Assembly and to the Government House”.
A former governor of Lagos , Bola Tinubu, who also spoke at the
event, lambasted Mr. Jonathan for allowing the Boko Haram terrorists to
seize parts of the nation’s territory, stating that he ought to have
resigned because of the development.
The APC leader, who recently returned from a medical trip abroad,
asked the party members to be ready for change because the race had
begun. According to him, the party had endorsed Mr. Ahmed for second
term because he performed well in office like his predecessor, Bukola
Saraki.
Moreover, Mr. Tinubu alleged that the PDP administration not only
steals the people’s money on daily basis, but also refused to give them
jobs.
He said: “I will come back. This is just the endorsement of
Governor Ahmed; that he will be re-elected by the grace of God with the
support of you people here and those outside there. The unemployment
situation will be conquered by this administration of APC. We have the
vision for the security of lives of our children.”
