The Nigerian Presidency has raised a fresh alarm over alleged plots to destabilize the country, warning of “forces of evil” bent on causing chaos and destruction.
In a statement on social media, Dada Olusegun, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, accused those behind the plots of spreading falsehoods and attempting to discredit government officials.
Olusegun cited the example of Governor Zulum’s son, who was falsely accused of murder, and later criticized for his English fluency when he denied the allegations.
“They want to burn the country down,” Olusegun warned. “Our fiduciary responsibility is to stop them!”
This latest alarm follows a previous warning by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, who alleged that supporters of Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, are behind planned protests across the country.
Onanuga claimed that the same individuals who instigated the destructive ENDSARS protest in 2020 are now planning to stage nationwide protests under the guise of “EndBadGovernance” and “Tinubu Must Go”.
The Presidency has described the protesters as “anarchists” and “bad losers” who cannot wait for the next election in 2027. Onanuga warned that their actions amount to high treason and called on security agents to interrogate those involved.
Politics Nigeria reports that a 10-day protest is planned to begin on August 1st, with Nigerians expected to take to the streets to demand better living conditions and an end to economic hardship.
When president Tinubu organized and financed the protests against Jonathan who arrested him and his then co travellers now ppl want to protest against his bad governance he is using security agencies to arrest and intimidate citizens.. What goes around comes around
