We cannot continue to manage Buhari when removing him could restore hope to Nigerians — Rep Chinda

Member of the House of Representatives representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency in Rivers State, Kingsley Chinda, has Nigerians cannot continue to manage a president who is clearly running the country aground. Rep Chinda who is the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, House of Representatives Caucus, said calls for Buhari's impeachment wasn't out of hatred for the President or anything personal, but simply a matter of saving the country from collapse before its too late.

He said, “We do not hate Mr. President. He has done nothing personal to us, but we are saying that Mr. President is not fit for purpose.

“If we look at our country and we do nothing and keep quiet because we are afraid, because we want to please people, by the time this country collapses, we will have no other country to go to.

“I can give you 20 reasons why we should change the leadership in this country because we are talking about life, we don’t even care about the economy. If we love ourselves, I have told my colleagues, it is either the President goes or we should all be ready to go.”

Chinda, in a press release on December 7, 2020, called on Nigerians irrespective of political party, tribe, or religion to compel their representatives to commence impeachment process against the President.

Catholic bishop, Rev Matthew Kukah, has been the target of rage over his statement accusing the Buhari administration of leading the country "into darkness" by "deliberately sacrificing the dreams of those who voted" him to power.

Kukah added saying, “Every honest Nigerian knows that there is no way any non-Northern Muslim President could have done a fraction of what President Buhari has done by his nepotism and gotten away with it.

“There would have been a military coup a long time ago or we would have been at war." But the Presidency in its response, warned Kukah against stigmatising the president, and also warned religious leaders in the country to “refrain from stoking the embers of hatred and disunity” which could “ trigger unintended consequences ”.
