- According to the ACIPA, in decent societies, after proving to be incapable of defending Nigerians, both the president and the service chiefs would have resigned

Nigerians have been asked by the Arewa Christians and Indigenous Pastors Association (ACIPA) to look beyond President Muhammadu Buhari as he is not a viable president for the country in 2019.

The group made the comment in its New Year message signed by its coordinator, Rev Luka Shehu, Daily Trust reports.

gathers that the group described the years of the Buhari-led administration, especially 2018, as the worst in the history of Nigeria.

The statement read: “While looking forward to a more fulfilling, prosperous and secured Nigeria in 2019 and beyond, it is pertinent to note the abysmal failure of the Buhari administration in the areas he promised Nigerians since 2015.

“The gulf between Christians and other denominations have widened with often little lip service or rhetoric, the spate of Fulani militia across Nigeria, ethnic cleansing of Christians and mainly indigenous people, the abduction of school girls at Dapchi in Yobe State, the none-negotiation for the release of Leah Sharibu, the Decmber, 2018 spate of serial attacks by well organized terrorists at Metele, Baga and other towns where soldiers were decimated and had to escape while weapons of assorted types and make were carted away by terrorists who took over towns, not to mention the horrific menace of recent killings in Kaduna, Plateau, Yobe and Zamfara states where traditional rulers where abducted and killed in cold blood, were all evidence that the Buhari administration has failed Nigerians.”

According to the group, in decent societies, after proving to be incapable of defending Nigerians, both the president and the service chiefs would have resigned.

Meanwhile,  Evritinnaija previously reported that the Arewa youth Forum (AYF), a northern group, said it hadendorsed President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of 2019 general elections, in order to consolidate his performance in the country.

The group’s national director of public affairs, Bello Abdulhamid, made this known when addressing newsmen in Kaduna.

The AYF, justifying its decision, said Buhari's performance in the country has to be appreciated by giving him the second chance to complete his projects.
