“Right now, we need Mr. President to appreciate our hard work for him. We need Mr. President to recognise the fact that we have lost everything because we championed the change agenda.
“Definitely, it is not just our exclusion that is a security
threat to the country. Anything that would deny any man his dues and legitimate rights can be concluded to mean a security threat because when you don’t get your dues and what is rightly due for you, then you are opened to a lot of temptations.2So, we are indeed a security threat”, Balogun stated.

They said haven served President Muhammadu Buhari
as his personal bodyguards during the electioneering
campaign, they deserved to be recognised,
compensated and remunerated, considering the volume
of work and gravity of the sacrifices they made for the
president to assume the office he had desired all these
years.

“We had to abandon things that were so dear to us,
including our families and the things we were doing before because all of us needed change. We believed that we had all it takes. And now, having done all that we did, nobody has recognised our efforts. All through the 15 months and 90 days of the campaign, not a dime was given to us”, Balogun said.

One of the aggrieved men, Zubairu, said that recently,
when he went to the Mosque in Aso Rock to worship,
the president was elated and exclaimed: “Zubairu (Idris),
where have you been? I’ve been looking for you.”

“One of the President’s aides warned me never to near or enter the mosque again for worship. He specifically told me to go and worship Allah in another mosque and not the one in Aso Villa because God is everywhere,” he said .
Meanwhile, a report by Premium Times says Nigerians
who supported President Muhammadu Buhari in the
2015 election, are now, not only disappointed in his
government, but apologising to other citizens who they
may have convinced to vote for the All Progressives
Congress at the period.

Many of these former supporters are not happy and
think that the president lacks the political will and
capacity to fight the many challenges he inherited and
for which former President Goodluck Jonathan was
booted out of office through the election.
