Presidency Hails Pro-Buhari Supporters After Attack On Charly Boy Group

Following Tuesday`s attack on the Charly Boy-led anti-government protesters, the Presidency has thanked pro-Muhamadu Buhari supporters for coming out in show of solidarity for the ailing president.

Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, hailed the pro-Buhari supporters on Wednesday, a day after they were alleged to have attacked the `Our Mumu Don Do` anti-government protesters at the popular Wuse market in Abuja.

Addressing the pro-Buhari supporters, Adesina said, “I can see from the banners you are holding, from the placards that you cut across different areas of the Niger Delta; I have seen Itsekiri, I have seen Ogoni – so many other areas, Urhobo, Isoko. Indeed, this is very good; it shows that Nigeria will remain one country.

“What we have noticed is that some people have made efforts to create ethnic cleavages in the country, but what you have done today has reinforced our faith that Nigeria will remain one,” he said.

“We want to thank you because you have shown your faith and trust in the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. That, indeed, is a leadership we can trust. That is a leadership you know will not take us for a ride. It is a leadership that wouldn’t steal our money; it is a leadership that will do the best for our country,” said the presidential spokesperson.
