President Buhari has accused Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe of enabling the escape of Nnamdi Kanu, National Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from facing the wrath of the law.
This is coming after Sen. Abaribe called for the resignation of the President over his perceived incompetence in handling the security challenges in the nation due to the alarming rate of kidnapping and killings recorded since he became President.
However, the President through his spokesperson, Garba Shehu has fired back at the Senator stating that his opinion does not represent the true desires of majority of Nigerians who are pleased with Buhari-led administration.

He attacked the Senator, saying he should be the one to resign since he facilitated the escape of Kanu, IPOB leader from escaping justice.
Shehu’s statement reads;
SENATOR ABARIBE’S CALL ON PRESIDENT BUHARI TO RESIGN IS FOOLISH
“President Buhari to resign on what basis? Just because some characters think that President Buhari should resign, then they expect him to quit. That call does not represent the opinion of the country.”
“This is the opinion of an arm chair critic, known for making stray comments.”
“If a leader like President Buhari needs to resign, there are millions of other Nigerians who need to resign, including Senator Abaribe who unlocked the door to enable the escape of traitorous and treasonable suspects.”
“He signed the bond for the court to release Nnamdi Kanu on bail, from which moment the suspect disappeared into the thin air.”
“Senator Abaribe has failed repeated deadlines to return Kanu to the court for trial, yet he has the effrontery with which to accuse someone of failing to the bidding of the law.”
“Abaribe’s party raped the nation and left it collapsing in 2015 and President Buhari is fixing things up all the years he is in office.”
