A 28-year-old Nigerian, Nura Iliyasu, who climbed a telecoms mast in Abuja for 24 hours to protest the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari has stated the reasons for his action.
Iliyasu told newsmen after he was brought down from the mast on Thursday that he had planned to stay on the mast for seven days without food or water to underscore the seriousness of his demands.
He decried the level of suffering Nigerians are experiencing in the midst of abundant natural and human resources and urged Buhari to give up his second term bid for a younger and more competent candidate.
Iliyasu was thereafter led away by unidentified security personnel to an undisclosed location.
