The National President of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, Comrade Qadri Olaleye, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign if he can no longer guarantee the security of citizens’ lives and properties.
The TUC president was reacting to the terrorists’ attack on the Abuja to Kaduna train.
Olaleye was in Okene, Kogi State for the burial of the late General Secretary of TUC, Comrade Lawal Ozigi, who was killed in the Monday attack on the train.
Olaleye lamented that nobody seem to be safe in the country anymore.
He said “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 then he should resign as president.”
He criticized the Buhari government for not tackling the security situation when citizens were complaining, pointing out that if he had acted then, it would not have got to this situation where lives have become worthless.
He stressed that people voted for President Buhari because he promised to solve all the insecurity problems in the country.
“But where are we today?” he asked rhetorically.
Olaleye described the late General Secretary as the engine room of the union. Accordng to him, the General Secretary was on his way to Kaduna for their meeting when the train he took was attacked.
Olaleye said the APC government had performed below average.
