The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State yesterday celebrated President Muhammadu Buhari’s return from medical leave, with a solidarity rally.
The party was joined by members of a coalition of civil society and community-based organisations.
APC Chairman in Rivers Chief Davies Ikanya told reporters after the rally in Port Harcourt that the party was happy about Buhari’s return.
Ikanya said the party was thankful to God for bringing the President back and healthy.
He said God disappointed and shamed those not wishing the President well.
“Nigerians voted for Buhari to recover the nation’s economy, fight corruption and fix insecurity. But few individuals, who want to pocket Nigeria, are not happy.
“When corrupt Nigerians saw that Buhari is serious with the fight against corruption and their loot being exposed, they started praying for him to fall ill.
“When he took ill and travelled for medical attention, they prayed he never comes back home. But God shamed them and brought Buhari back hale and hearty,” he said.
The APC chairman alleged Rivers government was operating without a budget for the last two years because the people in authority thought President Buhari would not return.
“Rivers government officials thought Buhari will die and nobody will know their corrupt act. But thank God, he is alive,” he said.
