Pan Yoruba Group, Afenifere, leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has not hidden. his disgust for the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration.
Reacting to the alarm raised by the the Presidency over alleged plans to overthrow the President Buhari administration by passing a vote of no confidence on him, the elderstateman noted that nobody needed to pass a vote of no confidence in President Buhari, because it is glaring for the whole world to see that he has failed Nigerians.
The President’s spokesman, Femi Adesina had alleged in a statement on Monday that some people are recruiting ethnic groups where a vote of no confidence will be passed in the President.
Adesina had further stated that the motive of those people is to further throw the country into turmoil.
Adesina, in the statement said he was reacting to the same alarm raised on Sunday by the Directorate of State Services, DSS, that there were plans by some people to destabilise the Buhari Government.
Indeed, the Army had, also, before that, warned civilians and soldiers not to toy with the idea of a coup plot.
However, Adebanjo in his statement, said the President already failed and there was no need for any group to gather anywhere to pass a vote of no confidence in him.
Adebanjo who was not pleased with the 1999 Constitution, called on Buhari to return the country’s constitution to the 1964 Constitution agreed on by the founding fathers of Nigeria including the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Obafemi Awolowo and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe.
He said, “Who is interested in passing vote of no confidence in Buhari? Who has confidence in Buhari before, let alone pass any vote of no confidence in him. That is not the issue. The main thing is to restructure the country back to federalism and forget all these gossips by Adesina.
“We don’t have to pass a vote of no confidence for the world to know we don’t have any confidence in Buhari.
“I don’t know of any group who wants to take over the government but I know those of us who want the country to be restructured in a peaceful manner.
“Those of us in Afenifere and all other groups in the South who are agitating for restructuring are the friends of Nigeria, are the friends of Buhari. I hope it is not too late for Buhari to realise this,” he added.
The fortunes of the Buhari Government has very badly deteriorated in the past four months over the unprecedented insecurity in the country.
