Minority leader of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Wednesday urged President Muhammadu Buhari and ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to resign from office. Abaribe also reminisced that the APC pledged to be stoned on account of failure upon assumption of office during its electioneering campaigns and, thus, called for ‘stone’ against the party following the insecurity realities on ground. Abaribe said this against the backdrop of alleged failure in securing lives and property as promised by the ruling party upon which it came to power in 2015 and 2019 general elections. He added, “With the recent reports in some dailies about the incessant carnage and abductions by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents, President Muhammadu Buhari said he was surprised. “Mr. President, your surprise even surprised me”. This development was sequel to the adopted motion sponsored by Senator Abdullahi, Yahaya Abubakar representing Kebbi north and co-sponsored by about 105 other senators in the upper chamber. But the submission by Abaribe did not sit down well with Senator Adamu Abdullahi representing Nasarawa West Senatorial district. In his words, “I take exemptions to the contribution by the minority leader. Abaribe should be called to order. His call for the use of stone means weapon against the ruling party”. At this point, the hallowed chamber degenerated into a bedlam.
