Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari were at the Nigerian Diplomatic Mission in London during a solidarity march for the President, Monday.

Nigeria London House which is also known as Abuja House, was stormed with protesters carrying placards with inscriptions such as “This Storm Will Surely Pass”, “God Loves Nigeria”, among others.

It would be recalled that Reno Omokri, a former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan had recently led an anti-Buhari  protest in front of the Nigerian house for some days.

The protesters asked President Buhari to return to Nigeria and stop wasting taxpayers money.

But speaking during the protest, one of the sup­porters of the president de­scribed Omokri’s claim as fake news.

“There is the news about the president being held hos­tage, everyone could see, to my left, my right, you can see that there is nothing there, no one is being held hostage, it’s all fake news.

“But we are here today to actually show support to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Presi­dent Muhammadu Buhari, that we are here for you, Ni­gerians in diaspora actually support you.

“We support you for the great things you are doing in the country, obviously, defi­nitely, there is no country with a perfect government, there is no perfect govern­ment out there.

“We are saying that de­spite the challenge in the country, Nigerians in dias­pora support him. Nigerians in Nigeria also support him and we will continue doing that.

“We are not where we should be, no doubt, but surely, we have left where we used to be and due to your commitment, dedication and also to your hard work and strides.

“I want to commend those giant strides you have been able to put together in Nige­ria.

“We thank you, Mr. Pres­ident, for every single thing that you have done.”
