Shehu GarbaThe Presidency has made it clear that protests against trusted aides of President Muhammadu Buhari would not change the way the President is doing his things.
“One thing to note is that this President is not the kind that can be swayed by this chicanery. He has a mind of his own and he alone will decide who he will work with and who he will send away. In effect, this demonstration will change nothing.”
These were contained in a statement today, June 25, by the senor special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, reacting to a protest yesterday, Monday by the Concerned APC National Stakeholders (CANS) calling on President Buhari to sack some of his trusted allies described as “cabal.”
“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.”
