Okorocha shy of asking Buhari to resign wants him to sack cabinet
BY NICHOLAS ABE
Former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, short of calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign, has called on the president to sack all his minister and aides, as they have failed to perform their duties.
Okorocha vented his frustration on Wednesday in Lafia, Nassarawa State, when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Abdullahi Sule in Government House and the family of the late Nasarawa State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Phillip Tatari Shekwo who was murdered by gunmen.
According to him, “President Muhammadu Buhari should fire the people he hired to work for the country, because they have failed and are not performing in the national assignments assigned them.
“He should do the needful to save the nation from the insult on the leaders. The people are angry with the recent events in the country.
“The culprits who killed people in Borno, the people in Nasarawa and other parts of the country should be arrested and prosecuted. As the killing of people by gunmen should not happen again as it is an insult to the country.
“President Buhari should hire competent hands to develop the country as many countries suffered similar fate before they experienced growth and development,” Okorocha said.

He however called on Nigerians to be patient, cooperate with the government to reduce unemployment and hunger ravaging the nation.
The Nation reports that Governor Sule disclosed that three suspects linked with the death of the late APC Chairman have been killed by the military, while one was arrested, few days ago.
The governor said the arrested suspect had confessed to the crime and “we are waiting for the report from the police”.
