The Police have deployed mobile policemen to the All Progressives
Congress Presidential Campaign Office in Abuja, venue of the planned
protest by former bodyguards to President Muhammadu Buhari who
participated during the 2015 presidential campaigns.
The Spokesperson of the group, Badiru Olabiyi Balogun, told THE PUNCH on Thursday, that his group will go ahead with the protest.
He said, “Two truck loads of mobile policemen have been deployed to
our campaign office and that is our office. They said the instruction
was that they should not allow us access to the office and that the
people outside should not be allowed to go out. So, we are meeting there
by 9:00 am this (Thursday) morning to disgrace them. The venue is APC Presidential Campaign Office in front of Unity Bank, CBD, Abuja.”
THE PUNCH had last week, reported that the same group
had protested against their “exclusion” by those they described “cabals
in the government.”
They alleged that apart from the 20,000 they got on two occasions
in January and February 2015, “we had never and were never given
anything.”
While some of them wept profusely because “some cabals have
hijacked the President”, they said many of the key actors in Buhari’s
government, who did not work for him “are now reaping where they did not
sow” and have denied them access to him.
