Buhari should resign if he can't secure Nigerians - Trade Union

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to throw in the towel if he can no longer guarantee the security of lives and properties of Nigerians.

This remark was made by the National President of the Union, Comrade Quadri Olaleye, on Friday April 1, 2022.

Speaking during the burial ceremony of the late TUC General Secretary, Comrade Musa Lawal Ozigi, at his country home in Ogaminana, Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State, Olaleye said bandits have taken over Nigeria.

The TUC President lamented that nobody is safe in the country again as bandits have infiltrated towns, cities, including major roads and forests, where they continue their reign of terror on the people.

“Children can no longer go to school; you cannot travel again and we cannot close our two eyes when sleeping. If the president cannot provide security for the citizens of this country, then he should resign,” he said.

Olaleye said the current situation would have been averted if the federal government had listened to the outcry of the citizens over worsening insecurity in the country.

He expressed sadness over the attack on the Kaduna-bound train which led to the death of the General Secretary of TUC and its Kwara State chapter chairman, Comrade (Barr) Musa-Lawal Ozigi and Comrade Akin Akinsola, respectively.
