Recall that President Buhari had been absent at the Federal Executive, FEC meetings for three consecutive times, fueling apprehensions that he was gravely ill.

However, the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, on Tuesday, took to social media and said that her husband was not ill as being perceived.

Recall also that Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Debo Adeniran, an activist, have called on the president to take urgent leave and attend to his health.

Others who have advised the president to resign on account of his ill health include Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state,Global Youth Peace Empowerment and Development Initiative (OGYPEDI), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, among others.

“We have unprecedented hunger in the land as Nigerians were being killed in Southern Kaduna and other places. It is better for the president to resign because he appears not to have capacity for positivity. If all the presidents that ruled before Buhari had behaved like he is behaving now, he himself will be in jail, ” Fayose said this in statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.

He equally said that “if the President and his hatchet men in the DSS, EFCC and other federal government agencies do not know what to do other than to record phone conversations of their perceived political foes, they should just resign and save the country from this harrowing experience.”

National Coordinator of OGYPEDI, Mr.Japhet Omene, in a statement in Osogbo during the organisation’s emergency meeting on the state of the nation, said: ”Since the President came back to the country from his medical leave abroad he has been inactive and silent which is a bad omen for the country. It is very glaring and conspicuous that the President needs rest to recover well, but we advise him to resign on health issues. The President needs to address some issues facing the country that made Nigerians lose faith in him. Nigerians are still waiting for the change he promised”.

Similarly, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN called on president Buhari to resign and take care of his health.

Bishop Simeon Okah, National Vice President PFN (South-South), at a joint meeting with CAN in Warri, Delta State said: “Today our children are now being deported from America and here we have people from outside our country killing people and raping our daughters, mothers and wives. Our farmers no longer have farmlands to farm. I think it’s high time we started defending ourselves if the government cannot help us. The economy is dying.

“When Jonathan handed over to Buhari, the exchange rate was between N170 to N190 to a dollar. Today, it is N550 to a dollar. Imagine how things had gone bad? While the church will pray, if he (Buhari) cannot save the country, let him resign for the country to move to where God wants it to be.”
