Some youths from the south east region stormed Abuja on Tuesday, August 22 to declare their support for President Muhammadu Buhari who recently returned back to the country after over 103 days in London.

The president who went on medical vacation for an undisclosed ailment continued to enjoy goodwill from all the country's region with the latest declaration from the coalition of South-East youths.

The south east over some time now has been embroiled in renewed agitation for secession brought about by Nnmadi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
