A non-governmental organisation, Citizens Action for Good Governance (CAGG), has condemned call by a group in an online media for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over fuel price, electricity tariff hike and security challenges.
A statement by CAGG national coordinator, Nasir Galadanchi, described the call as unfortunate and baseless.
According to Galadanchi, the purported call of Buhari to resign was borne out of sheer bitterness against the president for no reason, saying the group was sponsored to overheat the polity.
“It is really unfortunate to see some group of persons uttering unguarded words that are really for the garbage just to malign and cast aspersions on the person and office of President Muhammadu Buhari over what they cannot substantiate; because of the bitterness they carry in their mind against the president.
“We in Citizens Action for Good Governance (CAGG) want to state unequivocally that this group of people are not working for the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians, they are out to overheat the polity for no reason.
“We want to at this point condemn the statement of a group who went on a medium online to call for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari and to embark on strike on October 1, 2020.
“This is baseless and should not be taken seriously at any level because the vast majority of Nigerians have faith in President Muhammadu Buhari and his policies; they see him as panacea to their problems. He has given Nigerians a say in their hard earned democracy.
“We want Nigerians not to be swayed by people who does not mean well for them. We also advise that we should be patient with these policies and enjoy the benefits in no distant time.
“Nigeria’s railway sector is now operating and competing with its counterparts in terms of infrastructure and mode of operations including delivery of new and modern coaches.
“We want Nigerians to understand that this administration is the most people- friendly administration, which has initiated various social investment programmes for the masses at all levels, including the school feeding programme, trader-moni, N-Power, and others,” he said.
