President Buhari reacts to military takeover in Zimbabwe, calls for calm and respect for the constitution

hehehehe...............President Buhari has reacted to the military takeover of power currently happening in Zimbabwe. In a statement released by his media aide, Femi Adesina, President Buhari called for calm, peace and respect for the constitution in Zimbabwe. He urged all political and military stakeholders in Zimbabwe to avoid any action that may plunge the country into unnecessary conflict and impact negatively on the region.

According to President Buhari, “every attempt must be made to resolve all contentious issues by constitutional means in Zimbabwe to save the country from avoidable political instability.”
His appeal came in the wake of reported “military takeover” as a result of rising political tension in the southern African country sequel to President Robert Mugabe’s recent removal of former Vice-President, Emmerson Mnangagwa. This led to the threat by the head of the Armed Forces of Zimbabwe, General Constantino Chiwenga, that “the military will not hesitate to step in” when the issue had to do with protecting the “revolution.”
