The South-South chapters of the Christian Association Nigeria,CAN,and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria,PFN, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
The National Vice President PFN (South-South),Bishop Simeon Okah who briefed newsmen on Thursday in Warri venue of the joint meeting of the associations said the call was necessary because the president has demonstrated lack of capacity in leading the country.
Okah who backed the General Overseer of The Omega Fire Ministries,Apostle Johnson Suleiman over his alleged inciting statements expressed concerns over violent activities of Fulani herdsmen and increasing economic hardship in the country.
“Number one issue is this Fulani herdsmen in our bushes. We are no longer going to fold our hands and watch while they kill our people.Some governors are saying they are not from the North. That claim is an insult to us" he said.
“Today our children are now being deported from America and here we have people from outside our country killing people and raping our daughters, mother and wives. Our farmers no longer have farmlands to farm. I think it’s high time we started defending ourselves if the government cannot help us.”
"The economy is dying. When Jonathan handed over to Buhari, the exchange rate was between N170 to N190 to a dollar. Today, it is N550 to a dollar. Imagine how things had gone bad? While the church will pray, if he (Buhari) cannot save the country, let him resign for the country to move to where God wants it to be.”
