He said:
“Some people are saying break up the country, some said change the leadership, impeach Mr President. How will that help the situation?
“If you impeach the president, who takes over? Is it not the vice president? Is it not the same government? Or you remove the president and his vice, and the Senate President takes over, is it not the same government?"
Yusuf, therefore, charged Nigerians to think out of the box and see it as their own responsibility to solve insecurity in this country.
