Special Adviser to the President
on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari
is coming back to Nigeria.
He said this while dismissing
comments that the presidency sponsored some Nigerians to embark on solidarity
protests across the country in support of Buhari.
Ojudu told State House
correspondents that the presidency does not hire people for protest marches,
saying that those who participated in the pro-Buhari protest were die-hard
supporters of the president.
“I was working in my office when I was called to go and receive them, just the way we also received the BringBackOurGirls’ protesters last time.
”This presidency does not give money to anybody. This is not our tradition, is not our culture to buy protest or induce people to do any.
“You will be surprised the day President Buhari is coming back to see the millions of people that will go to the airport to welcome him,’’ he said.
Ojudu clarified that the
presidency did not shun the coalition of civil society organisations demanding
that Buhari resume duty or resign.
He said: ”If they decide to talk to us we talk to them. This group has a special message for the acting president and they wrote to us that they were coming and we received them.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“Those ones never informed us of anything. They were just doing their own protests and that was it.’’
