No Amount Of Resignation Calls Will Stop Buhari From Continuing Till 2021 – Lai Mohammed

The Federal Government has come out to say that those calling for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent killing of farmers in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists are very irresponsible.

Lai Mohammed recently revealed this during a meeting with members of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN) in Lagos.

According to him, no amount of hilarious calls for resignation will stop Buhari from serving out his term because it is pure dirty politics with the issue of security.

He added that Buhari was elected in 2015 for a four-year term and re-elected in 2019 for another four-year term, and he would be president till his term is over.

His words, “In the wake of the killing, there have been calls in some quarters for Mr President to resign.

“Well, let me say here that this call amounts to playing dirty politics with the issue of security, and it is cheap and irresponsible

“Mr. President was elected in 2015 for a four-year term and re-elected in 2019 for another four-year term.

“No amount of hysterical calls for resignation will prevent him from serving out his term.”
