Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, has responded to threats to remove President Muhammadu Buhari from office made by some lawmakers because to national security concerns.
Lai Mohammed referred to certain terrorists' threats to kidnap the President as absurd.
Mohammed, however, claimed that the possibility of impeachment is unwarranted since the Presidency is not treating the challenges of insecurity lightly when he spoke to State House reporters on Wednesday, July 27 in Abuja, following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
The Minister said, “I want to assure you that the President is aware of all these and as a matter of fact, I think tomorrow there’s going to be another Security Council meeting.
“So, it’s not a matter the President is taking lightly and like I’ll always say, some of the measures we’re going to take are not measures that you can discuss openly here, but we’re as concerned as you are, we’re not going to abandon our responsibility.”
Recall that Buhari was given a six-week deadline by senators from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to resolve the security issues or face impeachment proceedings.
In a related development, Lai Mohammed referred to certain terrorists' threats to kidnap the President as absurd.
After the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, he made the remark.
“As to those who have issued threats to Mr President, I think it is more of propaganda than anything, it is laughable,” Mr Mohammed said on Wednesday, July 27, 2022.
“I want to reassure you that the government is up to the task of ensuring security. Security challenges will come anywhere in the world. The important thing is the fact that you do not lose focus and you continue to work assiduously to overcome it.
“I want to assure you, we are going to overcome.”
On July 24, terrorists thought to be Boko Haram members uploaded a popular video.
