#Resumeorresign: Buhari mocks London protesters

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said he hoped that those
who held #ResumeOrResign protest in front of the Abuja House in
London, United Kingdom, would also join him in Nigeria now that he
had returned home.

The President said now that he had returned to Nigeria, he hoped
that those Nigerians would also return home.

Buhari also said that he was happy about national prayers held
for his quick recovery, noting that the prayers cut across all
religions and ethnic groups.

The President, who returned to the country last Saturday after
spending 104 days in the British capital, spoke at a meeting he had
with state governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Some Nigerians in the UK had held an all-night protest against
Buhari’s long absence from Nigeria at the Abuja House between 5 pm
on Friday, August 18 and 9 am on Saturday, August 19, 2017, asking
him to either return to Nigeria to resume work or resign so as to
allow a more capable person to lead the country.

During his meeting with governors, Buhari, however, said, “I am
very happy with the national prayers that cut across religions and
ethnicity; people were praying.

“In fact, some groups in London came and sang the national
anthem and asked that I should go back home. Indeed, I have come
back home. I hope those who went there are not stuck there. (I
hope) they will come back and join us.

“Those that are stuck there with the Brexit, I hope they have
weighed the implications that it won’t affect them, including those
that have property there.

“Those who are not paying tax here; I hope when they sell their
property there, they will bring some of the money here. We need it
very badly here.”
