Kasim Balarabe Musa, son of the Second Republic Governor of old Kaduna State and leader of the Peoples Redemption Party( PRP), Alhaji Balarabe Musa has asked President Bola Tinubu to resign over the current economic hardship Nigerians are facing.

Recall that Balarabe Musa was a Nigerian left-wing politician who was elected Governor of Kaduna State during the Nigerian Second Republic, holding office from October 1979 until he was impeached on 23 June 1981.

During the Nigerian Fourth Republic he was leader of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), a coalition of opposition parties. He died November 11, 2020.

Kasim, while leading a peaceful protest to mark the June 12 Democracy Day in Kaduna on Tuesday, noted that Nigeria has retrogressed under Tinubu’s administration.

Addressing teeming PRP members, he maintained that there was nothing to celebrate on Democracy Day at the moment.

He added that his late father and other pro Democracy Activists like late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Senator Shehu Sani and a hosts of others, sacrificed a lot for the enthronement of the nation’s fledgling democracy in the country while regretting the current sorry state the country had found itself today.

According to him, things have deteriorated in the country such that citizens are disturbed due to the high cost of essential items like food stuffs, adding that ” poor Nigerians can no longer feed despite the wealth Nigeria is endowed with.”

He urged the President to re-strategies with a view to bringing an end to the problems debilitating the country, adding that if the President was overwhelmed, he should resign.

Kasim said, “the military which we fought against before 1999 cannot allow this kind of killing and maiming of citizens, abuse of citizens. They won’t allow it.

“Nigeria has seen its darkest period since the country got her independence from 1960 to date.

“Nigeria has seen her worst and darkest period while there are so many killings and food is so expensive.

“No good schools and the medical situation is appalling. If the president has been overwhelmed by challenges confronting the country, he should resign.”
