The Nigerian Army has issued a stern warning against calls for the overthrow of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, labeling such demands as acts of treason.
This statement comes in response to increasing rhetoric from various groups advocating for political change through violent means.
In a press briefing, a military spokesperson emphasized the army’s commitment to upholding Nigeria’s democratic institutions and the rule of law.
“Asking us to overthrow the elected government is treasonous,” the spokesperson declared, urging citizens to respect the democratic process and engage in constructive dialogue instead.
The warning highlights growing concerns over political instability as Nigeria prepares for upcoming elections. The military reiterated its mandate to protect the nation’s sovereignty and maintain peace, calling for unity and cooperation among all citizens.
The army’s position reflects its ongoing efforts to discourage any actions that could lead to unrest or undermine the country’s democratic framework.
As political tensions rise, the military’s statement serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of inciting violence or rebellion against the government.
