President Buhari’s return to Nigeria would be determined by his doctors in the United Kingdom, presidential aides have chorused since his departure.
The President's prolonged stay in London has continued to generate mixed reactions from Nigerians.
Against this background, some Niger Delta Youths on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, took to the streets of Abuja to declare their ‘total support’ for President Buhari.

“The entire Niger Delta supports President Buhari,” “PDP stop anti-Buhari protest,” “Benin youths support President Buhari,” read inscriptions on their placards.
Leader of the group, Young Preye told that the protest for President Buhari’s resignation was being sponsored by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Nigerians should stop politicizing President Buhari’s illness because anybody can fall ill. The president has done the needful by handing over to his vice, . All he needs now is our support and prayers not this PDP sponsored protest for his resumption or resignation,” he said.
Meanwhile, the movement led by veteran entertainer, Charly Boy, today, suspended their daily sit-out to re-strategise.
