Our Senators, ‘Nothing But Buhari’s Errand Boys’- Charly Boy

Leader of the civil society groups staging a protest in Abuja against President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, Charles Oputa, has lambasted the Nigerian Senate for supporting the president’s long absence from the country.

The entertainer and activist, popularly known as Charly Boy said he was disappointed that the upper chamber failed to live up to its constitutional responsibilities by asking necessary questions on the whereabouts of Buhari.

Speaking shortly after the harassment of its members during a peaceful sit out by the Police yesterday, the #OurMumuDonDo protesters said it will not rescind on the call on Buhari to either resume or resign.

Charly Boy further said that Nigerians are tired of the ‘back and forth stories’ of president Buhari’s whereabouts.

He said: “I am disappointed in this country. But let it be known that no amount of intimidation on us by security agencies will deter us from demanding explanations from government. They must be accountable to Nigerians because they were elected into power by us, and on the basis that they will account for their actions. We are tired of the back and forth stories from the Presidency on Buhari’s whereabouts.

“Also, to compound the mess Nigerians are in, it is disheartening for the Senate that ought to ask questions to be the very ones supporting such show of shame. Indeed, the feeling out here based on their position is that they are nothing but Buhari’s errand boys. I guess the Senate is desperate to please the president. They have failed Nigerians when most needed.”
