Nigerian Senate has warned the sponsors
and participants organising
the #OurMumuDonDo protests demanding
for the resignation of President
Muhammadu Buhari over his medical
vacation in the United Kingdom to stop
heating up the polity with their
unreasonable demands.
In a statement signed by the
senate spokesman, Dr. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi,
the Senate said the protesters were only
creating unnecessary tension in the
country and seeking to divert the
attention of the Presidency from the
economic and security issues which are
being tackled with vigour.
‘The President has broken no law and
therefore we do not see any justification
for this diversion and noise making. The
sponsors are merely seeking cheap
publicity at the expense of the peace of
Nigeria.
We, in the National Assembly, are
satisfied that there is no vacuum. The
Federal Government is working. Acting
President Yemi Osinbajo is providing the
required leadership.
So, there is no reason
for the protests‘ the statement reads.
‘All Nigerians now should focus on
praying for the safe return of the
President.
We in the Senate are happy
about the report by the Governors and
party leaders who recently visited
President Buhari in London and we know
he will soon return to continue to provide
leadership to our people and the rest of
Africa.
“We therefore call on the protesters
to stop all these demonstrations and let
their sense of patriotism overshadow the
zeal for activism by joining other
Nigerians to pray for the President, the
acting President and Nigeria as a country
at this critical period’, Abdullahi stated.
