Hundreds of youths on Monday held a peaceful rally in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in Kaduna State.
The youths, drawn from various states in the Northern region, asked the President to ignore the call for his resignation.
The spokesman for the group, Ibrahim Garkuwa, said they are happy with the manner which President Buhari’s administration has governed the country in the last two years.
A member of the group, Mohammed Sani, also noted that in spite of repeated attempts to portray the present administration as not performing, the President has achieved far better than his predecessors.
The group insisted that President Buhari has fulfilled his campaign promises to Nigerians, especially in areas of anti-corruption fight and security despite the challenges he met on ground.
They described those calling for his resignation as enemies of the country who are not happy with the successes recorded by his administration in ridding Nigeria of corruption.
The group maintained that the President has not violated the Constitution to warrant the call for his resignation after he had properly handed over to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
After taking the rally to the Government House in Kaduna, some government officials addressed the youths on behalf of the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The rally comes more than 90 days after the President left the country for the United Kingdom where he is receiving medical attention.
His absence from office has, however, triggered the call for his resumption or resignation by a group of youths, as well as a counter protest by another group among several demonstrations across the country.
