An Enugu state traditional ruler, Igwe Hafford Agana, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of failing to tackle the real problems facing the country.
He stated that the president is merely engaged in witch hunting the opposition and perceived enemies.
Igwe Halford said this on Sunday while addressing journalists in Enugu over alleged forgery of Senate Standing Rule by Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
According to the monarch, Buhari instead of concentrating on the diverse problems facing the country, was engaging in witch-hunting
He added that the silence of the President on the attempt on the life of Ekweremadu on November 17, 2015, was a further proof to the fact that the President is hell bent on removing the senator at all cost.
The monarch also said the actions of President Buhari have continued to put the country’s democracy under serious threat.
Saraki and Ekweremadu will be arraigned in court today Monday June 27.
In a related development, a coalition of Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organizations in the country has also condemned the planned prosecution of Saraki and Ekweremadu saying that it is a “threat to democracy”.
The group in a statement issued in Umuahia, after visiting the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council, said the issue in contention was “an internal affair of the senate and should be resolved by the senators themselves based on the principle of separation of powers.
