President Muhammadu Buhari has told the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) that called for his resignation over failure to tackle spiraling insecurity in the country that he would do no such thing.
Rather, in a statement released by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, the president said saboteurs were after his government.
“Publicity is the oxygen for politicians who have failed to connect with voters in a democracy,” the statement partly read, adding that Buhari’s resignation “is not a solution to the security problems facing the country.”

He said Insecurity liked up to this height as a result of several years of neglect.
“They told citizens to know what their government is doing to deal with this situation and for politicians to come to terms with the fact that it is beneficial to all.
“People don’t have to destroy what is there in a desperate quest to get power.”
The statement added: “The country is equally getting assurances of early delivery of equipment on order from manufacturers and the effort is ongoing to conclude other major procurements still in process.
The Presidency accused “sponsored saboteurs” with the aim to show that the government was unable to provide power by sabotaging equipment at switches and other vital points.
“They will not succeed. The public knows who is who, and who has done what in our country’s governance,” the statement further added.
