President Muhammadu Buhari has, on Friday, taunted the protesters of his over 100 days medical sojourn in London.
President Buhari made the gesture when he played host to the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) in the presidential villa, yesterday.
Referring to the # ResumeOrResign campaigners at his Nigeria House temporary abode while in the UK, he asked the protesters to also return back to the country.
He prayed that they are not stuck there so that they do not experience the effect of Brexit and consequences of tax evasion.
His words: “I am very happy with the prayers, it was very covered and reported across religions and ethnics. People were praying.
“Some groups in London came and sang the national anthem and asked that I should go back home.
“Indeed I have come back home. I hope those who went there are not stuck there, they will come back and join us.
“Those that are stuck there with the Brexit, I hope they have weighed the implications that it won’t affect them including those that have properties there.
“Those who are not paying tax here, I hope when they sell their properties there they will bring some of the money here. We need it very badly here.”
He stressed that while in London, he closely followed events back home and was impressed with how they had been tackling inadequate food production because huge food imports were taking a toll on the Naira.
“I had so much time to watch television, NTA; I heard so much information about the states.
“I am very pleased with the states, you are all doing your best and it is proving to be good enough on agriculture and solid minerals.
“You are succeeding in agriculture because I think people cannot afford foreign food.
“The devaluation of the Naira is not my making; it may not favour us but it is something we cannot change.
“Some people were asking me if we should be more strict on the border, but I want to thank God this year is better than what it used to be.
He thanked Nigerians who prayed for his speedy recovery devoid of political and religious affiliations.
Shortly before the prayers, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina told State House correspondents that cameras would not be allowed in the mosque henceforth.
