This led to a protest on Monday, led by maverick musician, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charlie Boy, with the protesters asking Buhari to resign.

It is a plaque yet to completely desert Borno in Nigeria’s Northeast and it is quite worrisome, to say the least. Unfortunately, some Nigerians have failed to properly equip themselves to discern the recurrent suicide bomb blasts in just parts of Borno state.  This mindset is probably and sadly informed by partisanship and malice; the natural cynicism in us as a people to accept when others have done well.
