It was actually members of the All Progressive Congress who sponsored the protests,\u201d said the statement signed by Reno Omokri on behalf of the Jonathan Media Office.<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=14763&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The statement said Nigerians had not so soon forgotten how Malam Nasir El-Rufai led other chieftains of the opposition to the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos, where they attracted crowds by inviting top musicians to perform and by giving out free food and drinks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It continued: \u201cOn December 15, 2015, the Nigerian Army, under President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s command, killed 347 unarmed Shiite men, women, children and infants and buried them in a mass grave as revealed by the panel of inquiry instituted by the Kaduna State government.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe excuse given by the military for this massacre was that the Shiites had blocked a road during one of their procession and this allegedly affected a trip by the chief of army staff. After killing his followers and destroying their place of worship, Sheikh Ibrahim Zak Zaky, the spiritual leader of the Nigerian Shiite community, was illegally and unconstitutionally detained and has not been seen or heard of in public since December 15, 2015.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSo when the Buhari administration increased the pump price of petrol, Nigerians wisely reasoned that if the Buhari administration can kill 347 unarmed Shiite men, women, children and infants for blocking a road, it would be suicidal to give them an opportunity to do the same thing to them on a wider scale,\u201d said the statement from the Jonathan Media Office.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Under the Buhari administration, it said human life had become so cheap that the military and security services routinely kill innocent Nigerians be it Shiites, peaceful demonstrators or IDPs at the Rann IDP Camp.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cTo say Nigerians trust an administration that publicly boasted that it would not tell Nigerians how much of their own money the President spent in treating himself in London when the State House Clinic cannot boast of ordinary Panadol (by his own wife\u2019s testimony) is to speak a lie. Nigerians can judge the nature of the man whose number one campaign promise was that \u201cno Nigerian Public official should receive medical treatment overseas at public expense\u201d. For him lies are cheap even if they are expensive for the Nigerian public who has to pay the price.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cNor have Nigerians forgotten the promise to end corruption when the $25 billion Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation scam is ringing in their ears along with the denials by the Vice President that he never approved any contracts.\u00a0 How can they trust a government that has still not released or acted on the SGF\u2019s grass cutter contract probe after six months?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn the five years that he governed Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan spent N16 trillion. The economy grew. The Naira was stable. We had the greatest expansion of infrastructure since the Gowon years and inflation was in single figures. In the two years that President Muhammadu Buhari has ruled Nigeria, he has spent N15 trillion. We have had recession. Naira collapsed.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cInflation has gone back to double digits and the only infrastructure that he has started and completed is the Daura helipad. So Femi should spare us his propaganda and accept the truth that he is the mouthpiece of a murderous regime sustained by propaganda and surviving on corruption,\u201d the statement from the Jonathan Media Office said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Governors of the 19 northern states have greeted residents across the north for being nonviolent in the face of clashes between members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Soldiers in Abia State which endangered some northerners called on residents.
