President Muhammadu Buhari has been called out by the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere to wake up to his responsibility and stop the incessant killings of innocent Nigerians by terrorists in the country.

The group made the call in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi.

The group described as “very unfortunate and an admission of failure”, the confession of Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, that a terrorist “deceived” the government into releasing his wife and children without releasing abducted Abuja-Kaduna train passengers.

The statement read, “In view of the fact that the government is expected to possess superior power in virtually everything in a country, considering the fact that the primary responsibilities of the government are the provision of security and welfare for the people, the present administration has failed to provide either security or welfare for the people of Nigeria in recent times.

“One may not be wrong to state that President Buhari’s government greatly lost the confidence, trust, and hope that were invested in it at inception. It is a pity.

“Afenifere is pleading with President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently put a stop to the needless sacrifice of the lives of innocent Nigerians by terrorists

“The President, among others, should call the terrorists’ bluff, equip the security agencies materially, logistically, and in terms of morale-boosting, and be genuinely committed to Nigeria and the people.

“The president should, without wasting any more time, get these things done as suggested above. And in doing so, he could also delegate more powers so that the engine of the state could run faster and more efficiently!”
