Buhari: Nigerians Protest in London…

Some Nigerians living in the United Kingdom yesterday night embarked on a procession and night vigil outside the Abuja House in London against the continued stay of President Muhammadu Buhari in the country.

The London Metropolitan police granted the group express permission to engage in a #Resumeorresign protest which commenced around 5 pm yesterday. The candlelight vigil and procession lasted several hours.

One of the protesters, Chidi Calito said it was aimed at forcing President Muhammadu Buhari to either resume work in Nigeria or resign as Nigeria's President.

Chidi also promised that a 7-day sit-out would be undertaken as a follow-up if Buhari refuses to vacate the official Nigerian property in London to return to work as soon as possible.

The protesters displayed various banners with inscription that read "Buhari: Go Back Home." Another inscription read" "They Can't Fool All of Us."

An unidentified male voice was clearly heard narrating the protesters' grievances. He warned that the protest was just the beginning of their desire to force the president to return home.

He lamented that Buhari had spent an unprecedented 105 days in London taking treatment fully paid for by Nigerian taxpayers: "This has never happened in our history.

The president is here taking treatment, when many Nigerians can't afford one meal a day. Those protesting that the president should resume were attacked in Abuja. This is a secure environment. Those who were beating protesters in Abuja can't do that here. We have come peacefully to ask him to go back home. We still have respect for president. We cannot have two presidents at the same time. But we are demanding he should go home.
