The Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) has responded to the assault of 43 rice farmers in Borno State who were beheaded by Boko Haram insurgents during a lethal assault on Saturday.
In a statement signed on Tuesday by Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the northern elders forum meeting, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, they required the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari, following the spate of his weakness in handling the nation affairs.
“The northern elders said In civilized nations, leaders who fail so spectacularly to provide security will do the honourable thing and resign,” the statement concluded”.

The Northern elders settled on the decision while mourning that the lives of Nigerians at this point don’t have an incentive under Buhari’s organization and consequently added that the President should toe the way of respect and leave for neglecting to guarantee the security of Nigerians.
Responding further, the Northern elders included that the assault the farmers was welcomed by the most inhumane reaction by spokespersons of the President who gave a weak reason that farmers had not looked for authorization from the military to reap produce upon their assault.
“Northern Elders Forum (NEF) joins Nigerians in expressing outrage at the killings of farmers in Borno State and many other people on a daily basis in many parts of the North. Our voices have been raised without pause for a long time against pervasive insecurity in our region.
“These particular killings have been greeted by the most insensitive response by spokespersons of the President. The lame excuse that farmers had not sought permission from the military to harvest produce merely exposed the misleading claims that our military had secured vast territories from the insurgency.
“Under this administration, life has lost its value, and more and more citizens are coming under the influence of criminals. We do not see any evidence of a willingness on the part of President Buhari to honour his oath to provide security over Nigerians.
“In civilized nations, leaders who fail so spectacularly to provide security will do the honourable thing and resign,” the statement concluded.
