The Presidency has been fingered in a $20,000 bribe to Nigerians in the United Kingdom to disrupt the meeting of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, at the Royal Institute of Public Affairs, Catham House, London.
According to an undated memo from the Assistant Director of Civil Society and Support Groups in the Diaspora, Chief Peter Mozie, some Nigerians in the United Kingdom are to be mobilised to the venue of the meeting before the arrival of Buhari to stage a protest.
The protest is expected to last until Buhari leaves the venue of the meeting.
The memo, addressed to the Director of Civil Society and Support Groups, Prof. Nick Eze, and copied to the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Affairs, Prof. Rufai Alkali, said different persons at the venue of the anti-Buhari rally will have various talking points.
Among the talking points will be that Buhari is an unrepentant dictator, how Buhari overthrew a democratically elected government and a reminder to the international community of Buhari’s rape of Nigeria’s democracy.
The memo said the $20,000 demanded for the protest will be to defray the cost of logistics, refreshment, mobilisation and necessary permits to stage the rally.
The Civil Society and Support Groups is an arm of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign.
The memo was raised an internal one within the campaign, it was alleged.
Titled: Re: The Chatham House rally: March against dictator, the memo reads in full: Nigerians in the Diaspora will converge at Chatham House, United Kingdom on Thursday, 26th of February, 2015 to show solidarity and support for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and his transformation agenda in Nigeria as a surprise to the august visitor, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
The solidarity rally will among other things address major progresses of President Goodluck Jonathan and many sins of General Muhammadu Buhari while he was military dictator.
Talking Points:
Buhari is an unrepentant Dictator, who will never change no matter the number of suits he wears.
Buhari overthrew the democracy and ruled Nigeria despotically subverting human rights, imprisoning the innocent and jailed Nigeria’s foremost musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and innocent journalists for no just reason.
The rally will remind the international community about Buhari’s dictatorial leaning from 1983-1984 when many innocent Nigerians were killed, our democracy raped and Nigerian constitution suspended.
The rally will also draw the attention of opinion leaders and diplomats in the United Kingdom that Buhari should not be in Chatham House but facing war crimes at the Hague before the International Criminal Court, ICC, for genocide against Christians and innocent Nigerians who were killed by his supporters in 2011 on his instructions when he campaigned in Minna, Niger State and asked his supporters to unleash mayhem if he lost the election.
Above all, to draw the attention of the international community to the fact that Nigerians have rejected Buhari thrice before and will still reject him for the 4th time. In essence, to tell the whole world that Nigerians reject Buhari.
Schedule of Event
Arrival at Chatham House – 9 a.m
Drummers playing patriotic Nigerian music – 9a.m. – 9.30 a.m
Start chanting of Anti-Buhari and anti-military songs also
Speakers start speaking about Buhari’s dictatorship at 10 a.m

The world must know a DICTATOR has come to Chatham House. A ruthless killer has come to Chatham House.
However, to defray the cost of the logistics, refreshment, mobilization and necessary permits to stage the rally we shall need the sum of $20,000.00 to cover all the expenses.
