Presidency condemned Charly Boy Resume or Resign group

ABUJA —The Presidency yesterday condemned the Resume or Resign group, led by Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy for taking its protests to a sensitive area as Wuse Market, Abuja, describing it as ethnicised and selfish.

The protesters were attacked by persons believed to be supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and ethnic bigot  leading to injury to some ResumeOrResign group and police officers who tried to maintain peace.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, addressed a pro-Buhari group from the Niger-Delta region which staged a separate rally in Abuja on Wednesday, to counter the #ResumeOrResign protesters.

The #ResumeOrResign protesters are calling for the resumption or resignation of the president.

Buhari has been in London for medical treatment of an undisclosed ailment for 100 days
Dozens of pro-Buhari protesters gathered at the Unity Fountain at about 10 a.m. on Wednesday and concluded their rally with a solidarity march to the junction of Presidential Villa where they were received by the presidential media aide and his colleague, Garba Shehu.

Many pro Buhari group hold placards with different inscription one of the placards the protesters carried read ‘Buhari Was Only Sick Not Corrupt.’
Adesina, while addressing the protesters on behalf of the Presidency, condemned the Wuse market protests.

“We are not for ethnic cleavages, we are for one Nigeria. Anybody that attempted to ethnicise protests failed. Because everyone has a right to protest and ethnicity is not something that should be introduced to protest.

“Taking a protest to the market in the first place was wrong, so whoever took the protest to the market place was the one that attempted to make it get out of hand,” he added.

Adesina added that the presidency noticed that “some people have made efforts to create ethnic cleavages in the country but that what the people from the Niger Delta region did today has reinforced faith that Nigeria will remain one.”

He said the message of his audience would be conveyed to Mr. Buhari.

“Just over the weekend we were with him in London and he told us that he has been following events at home very keenly. We want to thank you very much and urge you to keep this spirit of patriotism.

“This is our country, we have no other one. Whatever we make of it is what we get,” Mr. Adesina added.

The lion of Africa Miriam Makeba

Zenzile Miriam Makeba (Mama Africa), was a South African great singer, United Nations Goodwill ambassador, Actor, and civil rights activist. She was associated with musical genres which includes Afropop, jazz, and world music, she was known for her advocacy against apartheid and white-minority government in South Africa. Makeba's first name, Zenzile, means "you have no one to blame but yourself" or "you have done it to yourself", which seems unfair, considering how much her life was governed by external forces. In her time, she survived cancer, plane and car crashes, political coups and jailings. After the death of her father, she moved with her mother to Riverside in Pretoria, where, after sneaking repeatedly into rehearsals by the choir her sister Mizpha sang with, she was eventually allowed to join.
