Abuja, Kaduna anti-Buhari protest sponsored, expect more – Presidency warns
By Nasir Dambatta in Abuja
Following protests around the Defense House in Abuja and Kaduna asking President Muhammadu Buhari to take charge of his government and sack those they referred to as cabal, spokesman of The Presidency Garba Shehu has warned Nigerians to expect more of such sponsored protests.
The protest in Abuja was reportedly organized by a relatively unknown Concerned APC National Stakeholders (CANS), who called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack some of his trusted allies, described as “cabal”.
Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu described what happened as “sponsored protest.”
“You are going to see more of such sponsored protests. In one of the hotels here in the federal capital, there is shop that sells packages of protests. At a given fee, they will write the protest speech, the placards and give you the marchers, men and women as well as the lead speaker who in many cases is a lawyer.
“So we are not surprised at all. Very soon, reporters and photographers will be buying this service to attack editors they don’t like.
