Charles Oputa, Popularly known as Charlyboy, Nigeria’s
foremost showbiz maestro and convener of “Our Mumu Don Do” campaign, on Monday
led a cross section of Nigerians, mostly
youths, in a protest in Abuja, asking ailing President Muhammadu Buhari to
resume work or resign as president of Nigeria.
The coalition of angry Nigerians gathered at the
Unity Fountain in the Federal Capital Territory and matched along roads along
the Three Arm zone, chanting solidarity songs.
The Areafada who is described as ‘the president of angry,
vexed and frustrated Nigerians’, told newsmen that the protest became necessary
to save Nigeria from stagnancy and
possible chaos, adding that Nigeria is currently
at a ‘stand-still position.’
He further stated that
for over 90 days the president of Nigeria has been out of the country,and
Nigerians are not properly informed on what is actually wrong.

“Any nation where people fail to
ask questions is a nation heading for destruction and any nation where abnormalities
and inpunity are celebrated, there is a serious problem.
“Since President Muhammadu Buhari left the country on medical leave for the
second time 90 days ago, neither he nor his aides have disclosed to Nigerians
what is actually wrong with our president.”
“He is a man with a private life,but
he is also the president of Nigeria,our president ,so we deserve to know what
is happening to our president and why he has not resume work after 90 days’.
Charlyboy asserted that while the
OurMumuDonDo movement wishes the president a speedy recovery, it also advise
him to resign his position for the country to move forward,if he could no
longer continue in the huge task of national leadership.
He added that a certain cabal were
already running the affairs of the country and they don’t want President Buhari to step down as
president,since they are benefiting from the present situation
The group stressed that” in a
democratic dispensation as ours, transparency and accountability should be
the leading factors. And this is even more important for the president
Buhari’s administration because transparency and accountability were his
watchwords during his campaign for the position of president.”
