According to vanguard, the protests were relatively peaceful, as the police kept watch over both groups, contrary to what transpired on Tuesday when security men dispersed the anti-Buhari protesters, operating under the aegis of ‘’Our Mumu Don Do’’ with water canon and teargas.
‘’OurMumuDonDo, led by the convener, Deji Adeyanju, and one of its leaders, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, said they were on the streets to asked the President to either resume work or resign and also make public the cause of his illness, the other group, under the platform of Center for Civil Society and Justice, CCSJ, led by Comrade Prince Goodluck Obi Nelson, said the President should be left alone to recover fully from his ailment and continue his fight against corruption.
Although Charly Boy and his group were dispersed by the police on Tuesday, the group continued its protest, yesterday, sitting out at the Unity Fountain. Insisting that the President resigned or resume work.
While this group was sitting out at the Unity Fountain, the pro-Buhari group also stormed the same venue to declare their support for the President. Obi Nelson, who addressed his group, quoted President Buhari popular phrase ‘’if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us.”
He said all the President needed was the support of Nigerians to enable him tackle the problem of graft in the country. According to him, Nigeria will not make any progress, if the problem of corruption is not solved.
The pro-Buhari protesters, mostly women and young ladies, were armed with placards bearing several inscriptions, and chanting solidarity songs that conveyed their loyalty and support for the ailing President.
