Barely a week after Nigerians held anti-government protests in major cities across the country, a coalition of Buhari Support Groups held a rally of their own on Tuesday in Abuja in support of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The coalition, Truth and Justice Movement of Nigeria, held the rally under the banner: “I Support President Buhari”.
It said other legs of the rally would be held in Kano, Lagos and Kaduna on Wednesday and Thursday.
One of the conveners of the rally, Moses Abdullahi, had disclosed in Abuja on Sunday that the march would hold in Abuja on Tuesday, in Kaduna and Kano on Wednesday, and the grand finale in Lagos on Thursday.
In Abuja, members of civil society and political groups gathered under the coalition at the Unity Fountain to trumpet the achievements of President Buhari.
The participants were mostly women and youth and marched across some major streets in the Federal Capital Territory, under the watch of the police.
They said they were out to pass a vote of confidence on the Buhari-led administration.
Convener of the groups, Johnson Ondoma, who spoke during the rally said the march is to demonstrate to President Buhari that he has the support of the people having fulfilled his promises to reinvent Nigeria, and having defeated terrorism and corruption in the country.
