Protest against Kyari, a mere plot towards 2023 presidential race, Group claims
A group under the aegis of Guardians of Democracy and Development is of the opinion that the recent protest against the Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Abba Kyari, is merely a plot towards the 2023 presidential race.
The move was condemned in a statement issued on Saturday by the National Convener of the group, Mr. Solomon Adodo who noted that it was too early to start sacrificing the more important issues of governance and development on the altar of political exigencies.
According to Adodo who was addressing a news conference, “the ‘heavily sponsored protest’ was aimed at casting aspersions on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.”

He added, “We here bring to the attention of the general public that the charade by the group under the aegis of the Coalition of APC National Stakeholders is nothing, but a heavily sponsored attempt surreptitiously geared at casting aspersions on the Buhari government while hiding behind a finger.”
“The group claimed they were working at sanitising the system through unbridled protests against the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari and the respective persons of Mr. Mamman Daura and Ismaila Isa Funtua.
“We are not unaware of the fact that the sponsors of these chaotic agitations are plotting their political pathways towards the 2023 Presidential race. They should therefore leave Mr. President and his co-stewards out of their permutations. It is too early in the day to start sacrificing the more important issues of governance and development for political exigencies.
“The warning should be reiterated for an umpteenth time that we shall not relent in using all strategies within the precincts of the law in combating all those who seek to cripple the good government of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
