CAN, PFN ask President to resign, say he is 'unfit' to rule

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria have called for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over the Southern Kaduna Killings.

This was the resolution of the South-South chapter of CAN and PFN after a joint meeting in Warri, Delta state on Thursday, February 2, 2017.

According to Vanguard, the Christian bodies alleged that President Buhari was no longer fit to lead Nigeria.

"The number one issue is this Fulani herdsman in our bushes," said Bishop Simeon Okah, national vice president, PFN (South-South).

He continued: "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.

“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,” the cleric noted.

Meanwhile, a Hausa/Fulani man has declared that there will be civil war and bloodshed if President Buhari dies and another tribe become Nigeria's leader.
