Boko Haram: Jonathan should resign or wait for APC to sweep him out - Tinubu
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday said President Goodluck Jonathan's administration cannot tackle the country's security challenges.
The APC chieftain, who spoke in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed's bid for second term in office, asked Jonathan to resign.
The event was attended by former head of state and APC's presidential aspirant, Muhammadu Buhari, former vice president, Abubakar Atiku and governors of Imo, Rivers, Kano, Sokoto and Edo States.
Also in attendance were - the Speaker of House of Representative, Aminu Tambuwal, Senator Bukola Saraki, former governors of Kwara and Ekiti States, Alhaji Shaaba Lafiagi and Dr. Kayode Fayemi, APC's spokesperson, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, member, Board of Trustees of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje and Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Razak Atunwa.
Tinubu said, "I saw the sea of refuges caused by the Boko Haram insurgents and the lies coming from Jonathan's administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision and creativity.
"The lies of yesterday are what they repeat today and are what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you.
"They are lying about the security, toying about the security of this country. I don't have time to explain the logic of their lies.
"But if you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day.
"In any civilized country Jonathan should have resigned. But if he will not resign, he should wait for our broom, we will sweep him away. I will come back.
"This is just the endorsement of Governor Ahmed, that he will be re-elected by the grace of God with the support of you people here and those outside there.
"The unemployment situation will be conquered by this administration of APC. We have the vision for the security of the lives of our children.
"The thieves that daily steal your money have not given you any job, they cannot create jobs and they are starving states of funds to pay workers salaries.
"The best thing to do is to sweep them away through broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses.
"It now behooves on you to begin a house to house campaign that this is a party of the masses".
