Presidency has lashed out at those it described as corrupt politicians for orchestrating protests against President Muhammadu Buhari in the UK.

The protest coming less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari declared his intention to contest for another term in office as President of Nigeria, is said to be the handiwork of alleged looters and corrupt politicians who are bent on embarrassing the President, as he prepares for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, while commenting on the protest by a group of Nigerians outside the Nigeria House in London.

Shehu however affirms that the President will not be distracted from his mission in the UK.

Corrupt Nigerians who are custodians of slush funds stolen from Nigeria, and hiding in UK or are resident cronies colluded with some elements to form a league of protesters with a singular aim of distracting and disorganising the scheduled state visit of the President to England, for bilateral talks with Prime Minister Theresa May and other dignitaries.

“Esteemed Nigerians home and abroad, friends and business investors in Nigeria, should please see through the veil of the motive behind the Abuja House, Kensington London demonstration. It was an orchestrated act of desperation and a ploy to blackmail and hoodwink the President from concentrating on his anti corruption campaign , which is fast gaining grounds locally and internationally,”

“this unpatriotic act is not unconnected to the Federal government policies to name and shame corrupt citizens and looters; to collate database of Nigerians with homes in UK who are not paying the right taxes, and the hot drive to prosecute all financial defaulters through bilateral and multilateral means.”

The protesters are said to have benchmarked their actions on local grievances and national challenges which the government is already tackling head on.

Such issues include the “herdsmen versus agrarian farmers clashes, fuel scarcity, as well as trumped up charge of hunger in the land at a time when prices of food items are beginning to drop and inflation on the decrease.”

His view was buttressed by our Presidency sources who further repeated the position of Mr. President who famously said that corruption is endemic and Nigerians need to kill it before it kills Nigerians.

“It is obvious that this is a clear cut incident of corruption fighting back. Many of the beneficiaries of corruption and slush funds cannot withstand another devastating blow of Buhari’s anti corruption sledge hammer. Hence, they are resolute to derail the apple cart in order to save their ugly faces and sit back to enjoy the loot in their personal banks. Some of the protesters are not even Nigerians but hired hatchet men paid to do the dirty job,“ we gathered.

According to security sources, the protesters are said to be bent on embarrassing and humiliating the President throughout his stay in the UK. An insider vowed that they will take their demonstrations to the venue of CHOGM holding later in the month in Britain, which President Buhari is attending as a Commonwealth Head of State.

ahahahah.......awon pepper them gang

They can blame for Africa

These deluded fools believe that only corrupt Nigerians dislike them meanwhile they have very corrupt individuals in their midst.

Waiting for APC to blame corrupt officials for not reelecting Buhari back in 2019!

This is how they will keep deceiving the president that everyone likes him except the corrupt ones when it's obvious that most people don't like him because he is incompetent.

It's better to protest in London because if it's in Nigeria, they will end up shooting half of the protester sporadically by the so called security men.

So the fact that we didn't protest in Nigeria doesn't mean we are happy but we are sacred of being killed.

Sometimes I wonder if the right to peaceful protest has been wiped out of our constitution.

Corruption must be soooo loud in. presidency's imagination

Shameless and useless APC as well as their brain-dead supporters always blaming their ancestors..una stuppidity no be here.

Foolhari! Foolhari!! [b]Foolhari [\b] , Bill Gates must be a looter too then. APC is a useless piece of poo party

Blame game goes on. Come 2019, Buhari must be voted back to Daura.

Buhari ordered the army to kill members of IPOB during operation Python dance and you think the Igbo community in the UK to clap for him.

Benue,Taraba, Enugu and Plateau indigenes residing in UK are expected to campaign for his re-election so the herdsmen whom Buhari is their patron will kill and sack the few remaining communities.

Those who's business collapsed during this uneducated herdsmen tenure as president in the last 3 years and they ran to UK for at least a good life are expected to welcome the terrorist by the Zombies

I bet you not anyone among the protesters are corrupt.

If am am oppoturned I will join the protesters.

I wonder when this blame game will end?

I have nothing to say,but one day Nigerians will rejoice over unforeseen circumstances that befall on him,it is not yet Uhuru

Blames upon blames...

Who is the PRESIDENCY??

buhari need dis

imagine the duara cow

Everybody wey protest now is either a Buhari hater or supporting looters!

M$tchewwwwww

APC will never accept blame, Am sick and tired of their government

Kwaruption.


That would be a nice moniker on nairaland cos any time Buhari speaks you would get a mention.


The blamers. That's who apc is now. Blaming everything on corruption. Rain falls corruption sun shines corruption. His dick can't stand corruption.

Give chance joor

Buhari should be a patriot. He should vote against his self for the progress of the nation.

ok

Why can't Buhari and his team of idiots talk about any other issue than 'corruption' and 'anti-corruption'. It seems their brains are only programmed for those two words.

People are dying of hunger and insecurity in the land and the best Idiot Garba Sheu could mutter for his dumb boss was 'corruption fighting back'. How did I even find myself in this geographical space called Nigeria?

Why God, why give us all the best things of life only to bless us with foolish people who call themselves politicians. So people can not protest again if not sponsored by PDP or corrupt people?

Imagine Trump blaming looters for street protest in Washington DC So anybody against terrorist buhari is now a looter? Don't people have the right to support and not to support in Democracy

Useless corrupt govt.

i am so very sure this so called presidency does not exist amongst us, if not they would have discovered how irritated Nigerians have become we this their blame game.
grossly incompetent beings.
