Fasehun in a statement said: “Resignation is the right thing to do for a head of state that loves the nation. When the head is bad, the entire body is bad.

“Nigerians have been praying for him for the past three months but it is now clear that his personal health is more important to him than power.

“It is unfortunate that Nigerian lawyers are not giving proper advice on Buhari’s illness. They are not giving legal education to Nigerian people. They are not defending the Constitution as it should be defended. They just allowed Nigerians to ponder with their legal illiteracy by keeping quiet.”

“I am a medical doctor and I wonder what British doctors have been doing and we Nigerians allow things to go on as if nothing has happened. Nigerians as a whole forget that it is not the day he is discharged that he will start work. He would be given time for recuperation.

“If he has been ill for four months, British doctors are not so careless as not to give time for recuperation. This can only be tolerated in Nigeria. Presidents in other countries would have resigned without waiting for the people to protest. There is a cabal that got together to ensure he does not resign but stay put in office”.

In a previous report by NAIJ.com Doctors under the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure he looks into the crises that have engulfed the country’s health sector.
