Buhari: Group funded by APC behind sponsorship claims – Resume or resign protesters

Organisers of the #ResumeOrResign protests have denied allegations of being sponsored by former Ondo state governor, Olusegun Mimiko and Gombe state governor, Hassan Dankwambo.

A joint statement by Charles Oputa (Our Mumu Don Do Movement) and Deji Adeyanju (Co-Convener, #ResumeOrResign Movement) said the claims were entirely false.

It said: “We have seen the lies and false assertions of a pro government group called Coalition for truth and Justice alleging that the Concerned Nigerians and the Our Mumu don do movement are being sponsored by former Governor of Ondo state Dr Olusegun Mimiko and Governor of Gombe state Ibrahim Dankwambo.

“The allegations are not just lies but are ridiculous and even embarrassing to those making the allegations. We understand that this is the handwork of detractors that are against our honest agitations for the Resumption or Resignation of President Buhari.

“Concerned Nigerians and Our Mumu don do Movement are not being sponsored by any body or government figure and will remain unsponsored. Our activities are in line with the provisions of the constitution and we will continue to carry out our daily sit out activities and not be intimidated.

“Furthermore, we will no longer respond to any prevalent distractions or consequent allegations by this administration but we will remain focus in demanding for the President to either Resume or Resign”.
