Renowned musician, Charles Oputa has denied that the groups he mobilised last week to the Unity Fountain venue of their sit-out on #ResumeOrResign protest against President Muhamadu Buhari got monies from former governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko and the Governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Dankwabo to stage the protest.
The protest by the Charlie Boy had attracted a counter action by some Pro-Buhari groups, which took to the street in Abuja at the close of last week and ended up at the gate of the Presidential Villa in solidarity with the President who is currently in London.
Charlie Boy in a statement he co-signed with Deji Adeyanju Co-Convener, #ResumeOrResign Movement said the allegations that the #OurMumuDonDo protest took place because it was sponsored was farther from the truth
The statement read, “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”
