#ENDSARS: More trouble for protesters as Pro-Buhari Group braces up for 10m-man march, seeks police protection
*We support #ENDSARS so long it focuses on police excess
*We hold march to prove many Nigerians still with Buhari
*Moment protesters call for Buhari’s resignation we launch a counter-offensive
A group, ‘I Stand With Buhari’, on Monday, informed the police in Abuja of its plan to hold a 10 million-man march in support of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Convener of the group, Ogochukwu Ezeaku, disclosed this in an interview, expressing hope that the group would get a favourable response from the police.
Ezeaku disclosed that the pro-Buhari march would take place at the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja, on Wednesday.
He said, “We have informed the police and I am sure there will be no problem.”
Asked if there won’t be a clash with #EndSARS protesters, Ezeaku said, “We know the End SARS people to be peaceful. Besides, our protest will take place in one spot, which is the Unity Fountain.”
The convener said the march was conceived to show the President that the majority of Nigerians were still with him.
In a separate message on Facebook, the group stated that they would support the #EndSARS movement as long as it focuses on police excesses.
It said the moment the protesters called for Buhari’s resignation, they would also launch a counter-offensive.
“Many Buharists support #EndSARS but the moment you change the protest to any other silly hashtag, you will know that we are 15 million strong!” it said.
