Tope Akinyode, Nigerian lawyer and one of the RevolutionNow protesters, has called on the present administration to resign over the continued show of failure.

Akinyode, who made the call during his appearance on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, August 6, said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has demonstrated lack of will to listen to the yearning of the citizens.

According to him, the present government is underperforming and Nigerians have the right to protest and demand the resignation of bad leadership.

Although security agencies tried to overpower the peaceful demonstrators in Lagos and Abuja, the group of protesters led by a former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore demanded a change in government.

Akinyode, who is the president of Revolutionary Lawyers’ Forum (RLF), said things have gone the wrong way and government must bury its eyes in shame.

"A failing government has no reason to stay; there’s no point reinforcing failure. Nigerians have the right to demand the resignation of a government that has been underperforming,“ Akinyode said.

“So, it has become a matter of common sense, it is a natural reaction that Nigerians would naturally engage the government and criticise the government, and disagree with the government on the poor policies of the government.
