Leave Buhari alone, he violated no law – Senate

The Senate has cautioned the sponsors and participants in the protests by a coalition of civil society organizations, operating under the aegis of #OurMumuDonDo, and demanding for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over his medical vacation in the United Kingdom to stop heating up the polity with their unreasonable demands.

In a statement signed by Senate spokesman, Dr. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, the Senate said the protesters were only creating unnecessary tension in the country and seeking to divert the attention of the Presidency from the economic and security issues which were being tackled with vigour.

The Senate noted that President Buhari had complied with the provisions of the nation’s constitution, which stipulated that he must handover to the Vice President and duly inform the two chambers of the legislature about his medical vacation.
