The planned protest against President Muhammadu Buhari by a coalition of civil society groups led by Charlie Boy has been slammed by the national leadership of APC Youths Renaissance.
A statement by National Secretary, APC Youths Renaissance, Mr. Collins Edwin, said, “Ordinarily, we would have dismissed the move knowing that Charlie Boy is an incurable attention-seeker, but because he cleverly laced his mercantile show-business in President Buhari’s health challenge, we
have decided to educate the political dissident that governance is not entertainment.
Edwin said “President Buhari has just spent few days receiving medical attention and Charlie Boy and his dubious sponsors are making senseless noise about it, what about a former American President who ruled America in the midst of greater health challenge yet Americans never gave a hoot about it.
He said “In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a severe stroke that left him incapacitated until the end of his presidency, yet Americans did not call for his resignation or impeachment, but here in Nigeria, we have a President who is only on a medical check-up and some group of attention-seekers are making it to look as if it is anathema.”
“For Charlie Boy and his sponsors to organise such protest against our darling President, we have resolved and are going to stage a counter protest that will show the world that President Muhammadu Buhari is truly loved by Nigerians despite the media gang up against him.
“We have also collected the comprehensive list of politicians within and outside the APC who are sponsoring the protest and negative publicity against Buhari and will make it public for Nigerians to see
who and who is actually preventing good governance from happening in the country.”
