- The protests are billed to take place this weekend
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared their support for Nigeria's music legend, 2baba as he leads a nationwide protest this weekend.
According to the spokespersons of the two major political parties, the planned protests are within the confines of the law and should not be disrupted by the Nigerian Police.
Speaking to Thisday, the national publicity of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said there was nothing wrong in people holding peaceful protest under a democracy.
He said the APC was not opposed to any form of expression of opposing view point by anyone so far it is done in a peaceful and non-violent manner and did not constitute disruption of public peace.
His words: “For us, it is about the constitution of Nigeria, Tuface or any other citizen of the country has the right to stage a peaceful protest, that is the position of our constitution.
“We as a party will not be part of anything that will abridge or take away the right of citizens to protest, especially in a democracy.
“We have as a party benefited greatly from citizen’s right to express their democratic rights and our being in government is not going to change that orientation to promote the liberties and right of citizen hold dessenting views.”
Abdullahi added that the protests will be a form of feedback for the APC to do more in citizen’s engagement and enlightenment and also focus more on the promises the party made to Nigerians during the electioneering period.

According to one of NAIJ.com’s Bureau De Change sources, the local currency still exchanges at N498 to a dollar, but has crashed to N616 and N527 against the Pound Sterling and Euro respectively.

THE RUMOR ABOUT PRESIDENT BUHARI OF NIGERIA


THE RUMOR ABOUT PRESIDENT BUHARI OF NIGERIA

A while ago there was a rumor that President Buhari of Nigeria died in the UK but many dismissed it as a mere rumor.

People of Nigeria, get ready for the worst because it is not a rumor but a reality.

Buhari was rushed out of Nigeria in the middle of the night two days before his official leave, and was flown in an air ambulance to the UK for a major surgery. The surgery required that he undergo an organ transplant but his body rejected the new organ due to his age. Though not dead but he is in a vegetable state right now

The doctors actually asked him to officially resign because they were not too sure of the success of the surgery but he refused and they went ahead with it. Sadly, Buhari did not survive the surgery and the outcome is being kept a top secret/

Fellow Nigerians, you are being deceived right now because there is a high powered meeting being carried out by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and the Northern governors and they are planning now to remove the Vice President; as we speak.

Chief Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan are not part of this plot and that is where there will be trouble. There is a serious clash about to happen in Nigeria and it will be very bad. God has revealed this to me long before Gen. Buhari got into power that he was going to die during his reign.

Something is about to happen in Nigeria and please you people should not take this warning lightly. start buying food in the house because it will not be funny. Mysteriously too, I do not see the Vice president taking over power because there are strong forces against him already.

PLEASE BE . #forwarded as relieved#.
