Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu, has said it
will take more than physical force for
President Muhammadu Buhari to resign
from office even as he has been in London
for more than 80 days treating himself. He
said Nigerians should stop wasting their
time calling on him to resign.
According to him, it is only a “spiritual
intervention” that would make President
Buhari to resign. He said this in his latest
article, ‘Now that the governors are back’.
Dele Momodu wrote: “Would Buhari bow
out due to pressure? I doubt it. We all say
things when they’ve not concerned or
affected us personally and directly. Truth is
we do not have a culture of resignation in
Nigeria.
“The position of the President of Nigeria is
certainly one of the most powerful in the
world. It would take some spiritual
intervention to walk away casually from
such a monumental privilege.
Buhari will not resign except under spiritual
influence – Dele Momodu
“No one can say what he would do with a
degree of assertion until he’s been tried and
tempted. That is a fact. So let’s accept for
now that our President has no intention of
abdicating anytime soon.
“Indeed, it would be premature to ask him
to do so in any event. It is clear that he is
showing quite remarkable improvement
and almost magical recuperative powers of
recovery.
“This means that one cannot say he should
quit the stage when he clearly can continue
to act once he has become fully rejuvenated
after a long stint of rest and relaxation.
“We must appreciate the fact that there have
been several world leaders, who have not
been that strong, that have governed their
countries from their sick bed.
”President Buhari has demonstrated his
ability to do so because of the able and
competent Vice President that he has in
Professor Yemi Osinbajo.”
