Abuja - Following the call by opposition party, All Progressive
Congress (APC) asking President Goodluck Jonhathan to resign, the
president has said no president quits during war situations in the
country, Punch reports.
Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, in a
statement in Abuja said Nigerians should ignore the call as no
president in the world abandons his position during war situations.
Leaders of the APC including former Lagos State Governor, Bola
Tinubu and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal, had urged President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from
office for running a system that does not have the interest of the
country at heart.
Okupe said when terrorists attacked the United States of America in
September 2001, the leaders of the Democratic Party did not demand a
resignation of President George Bush but rather they rose in defence
of the American nation to support the various measures taken by the
President to defeat the al-Qaeda terrorists.
