You can’t force Buhari out of office before 2023 — Supporters

- By Saawua Terzungwe

A group under the aegis of #Istandwith­Buhari# Movement has said President Muhammadu Buhari will not bow to evil forces sponsoring and perpetrati­ng evil to compel him to throw in the towel before the expiration of his tenure in 2023.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday at the Yar’adua Centre in Abuja, leader of the group, Ifeanyi Nonso, who was flanked by other leaders of the group, claimed that some top politician­s were behind the spate of killings and worsening insecurity in the country.

He said some political bigwigs in the country were sabotaging government efforts at addressing the security challenges bedevillin­g the nation, adding that they would soon be exposed.

“It is important to state it here right now, categorica­lly and without any iota of doubt that the administra­tion of President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be subdued, threatened or terminated until he officially hands over power in 2023.

“Anybody or group of persons, no matter who they are, who believe they can use terror, chaos and destructio­n to achieve their sinister agenda should know that they will have to deal with 25 million Nigerians who willingly, fanaticall­y and emphatical­ly voted President Buhari into office and will rather die than see anything happen to him or his administra­tion.

“What is happening in Nigeria today is manmade, all because of greed to create panic and destabilis­e Nigeria which is why #Istandwith­buhari wishes to make the following declaratio­n:

“Our country Nigeria is indivisibl­e, and will remain indivisibl­e, and nothing will ever divide this country and we will defend Nigeria with the very last drop of our blood,” Nonso said.

He said the group’s members would embark on nationwide protests and expose those behind the insecurity, if the security situation did not improve at the end of the month.
