President Muhammadu Buhari
hehehehe...... The
All Progressives Congress has warned that any attempt to overthrow the
government of President Muhammadu Buhari will be met with serious
opposition.
The All Progressives Congress has reacted to a statement made by
the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Burutai that some politicians
were approaching soldiers with the aim of usurping power, from President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has
warned that any attempt to overthrow Buhari will be opposed and rebuffed
and plotters will have themselves to blame.
“We have hesitated to react so far because we think that the
house belongs to us, so we wanted to wait for Nigerians to react and
Nigerians have reacted.
“If there was any such thing in the offing, I think it is clear to everyone that Nigerians will defend their own democracy,” Abdullahi said.
This is coming after Gen. Buratai had earlier warned that, “Any
officer or soldier of Nigerian Army found to be hobnobbing with such
elements or engaged in unprofessional conducts such as politicking would
have himself or herself to blame”.
Also, the British high Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Paul Arkwright,
equally stated that the United Kingdom will not allow any other
political system to be practiced in Nigeria.
According to him, “No other system will work in Nigeria, except
democracy, UK believes so much in democracy and that is why we
introduced it to Nigeria during the colonial era, we believe so much in
democracy.
“ So, our position is very clear; we stand for democracy, we
stand for the democratic process and we stand for change, if that is
what the people of Nigeria wants. “It has to be a choice that the people
make and not a choice that is imposed upon them.”
“The British Government believes that democracy is absolutely
critical in Nigeria. There is a democratic process here; there are
elections. If you are not happy with your leaders, then you should
change your leadership process through your leaders and through
elections” he finally said.
