The protest by the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations calling on President President Muhammadu Buhari to return home and perform his constitutional duties or resign from office, which commenced on Monday, entered the third day today (Wednesday).
Wednesday’s protest started under light rains but participants were undeterred in their action.
BBOG co-convener, Aisha Yesufu and Nollywood star, Jim Iyke were some notables that joined the action, on Wednesday.
The ‘Mumu-Don-Do’ group lamented that it was only in Nigeria that the president would be away for 94 days without clear explanations to the people.
Addressing the scanty crowd, Yesufu asked the Federal Government to stop dissipating energy manhandling those campaigning for good governance through constitutional means.
She rather urged them to deploy security agencies in rescuing the remaining Chibok schoolgirls in Boko Haram captivity, and not against innocent citizens.
A large contingent of policemen including plain cloth operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) were at the Unity Fountain, venue of the protest, on Wednesday.
Heavy presence of security was also seen around the three arms zone, apparently combat-ready to ward off any encroachment into the area by the protesters.
