Nigeria’s political rivalry hit new heights following a clash
between supporters of Nigeria’s leading political parties in
London today.
The protesters believed to be supporters of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressives Congress,
APC, besieged Chatham House while General Muhammadu
Buhari was delivering his lecture with various placards.
While supporters of PDP brandished placards that read:
“Buhari Belongs to the past: The past can’t belong to the
future of our children”, “A dictator hiding behind another
pastor cannot be a democrat”, and “Nigeria will not return
to the past”, supporters of APC displayed a placard that
read: “Buhari/Osinbajo: Real Change Has Come”.
An amorphous group called the Civil Society and Support
Groups-Diaspora coordinated the protest against Buhari
after an alleged mobilisation fee of $20,000 was paid.
The growing support being enjoyed by Buhari from the
international community and global leaders was identified
as the driving force behind the move for the protest staged
to embarrass Buhari while he delivers his lecture.
Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti State Governor, who has been
sponsoring series of hate and death wish advertorials
against Buhari has been accused as a major financier of the
latest protest.
Tension between the two camps were however calmed by
officers of the Metropolitan police who patrolled the area. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
