Resume or Resign : Youths denounce Charly boy’s group

Many youths on Thursday hit the streets of Abuja and marched to Unity Fountain to denounce Charlie Boy’s group, which has been calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to ‘return or resign.’

The placard-carrying pro-Buhari protesters kicked against what they described as “rent a group that is trying to undermine the peace in Nigeria.”

They said that the anti-Buhari protesters were agents of corruption and had no reasons to clamour for Buhari’s return “because there is no vacuum in governance.”

A group, “OurMuMuDonDo,” led by Mr. Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on Monday began an indefinite sit-out at the Unity Fountain, Abuja, demanding Buhari’s resumption of work or resignation.

The Senate has also denounced the Charly Boy-led protest.

“While we are opposed to the subject of the protest, the Senate acknowledges that the protesters have the constitutional right to gather and express their views in a manner that will not breach public peace and order.’’

The Senate had said on Tuesday that President Buhari had not violated any law by not returning from medical vacation after 90 days.

The spokesman of the senate, Dr. Aliyu Abdullahi, in Abuja urged the protesters to stop heating up the polity, saying that it was creating unnecessary tension in the country.
