The #HarassBuhariOutofLondon protest has been temporarily suspended to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to observe the Ramadan fast, convener of the protest Reno Omokri announced on Tuesday.
The suspension followed an announcement by the Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar that Ramadan would start in the country on Tuesday, April 13.
Mr Omokri, a former presidential aide, has been leading the #HarassBuhariOutofLondon protest since the president travelled to London for a medical check-up.

Announcing the suspension, Omokri also urged the group led by Sahara Reporters’ publisher Omoyele Sowore to suspend its protest.
“Due to the Ramadan fast which began today, we have decided to temporarily suspend #HarassBuhariOutofLondon to allow General @MBuhari observe his fast in peace. I call on @YeleSowore’s #BuhariMustGo group to consider this. If he makes an attempt to see his doctors, we will resume,” he tweeted.
Buhari left the country for London on March 30. He is expected back in Nigeria in the second week of April.
Meanwhile, One of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s ex-aide, Reno Omokri, said yesterday he initiated the #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon protest because he wanted to put a closure to the #EndSARS protests which swept across the country last year.

Recall that the US government said last week that there was no evidence to show that people were fire at by the military during the shooting at Lekki tollgate in Lagos. But Omokri said in a statement: ‘’I flew into London on April 2, 2021, to lead the #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon protest, and I went there straight from the airport. I did not eat, sleep, shower or rest. ‘’The President’s people called the City of London Police on me, and I was questioned.
At the end of the questioning, which was streamed live to my followers, they announced with their mouths that I had committed no crime and that my protest was peaceful, orderly, and within my rights. ‘’In fact, after General Buhari’s people called the police on me that afternoon, I calmly asked the officer questioning me this question: ‘’Officer, has Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, ever come to Nigeria to access healthcare? So, why should you be called on me when I am asking my President to return to Nigeria to use our hospitals? ‘’The police officer was touched.

He told me I was within my rights and flashed the thumbs-up sign, and allowed the #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon to continue. Buhari’s people failed big time! ‘’So, why did I decide to initiate this protest at great personal expense and risk? It is because I believe that General Buhari is not running a government. He is running an enterprise. This man has been in office for five years. In that time, has budgeted over ¦ 10 billion for Aso Rock State House Clinic. ‘’This is the equivalent of $27 million. Is that not enough money to build a hospital and train doctors to treat him and other Nigerians?
