Tension in Nigeria as Buhari govt accuses opposition of subversive tactics

Related News

Security experts, including a former director at the State Security Service, said some parts of the country have already been placed on high alert — even though no one was yet sure whether there is any veracity to the government’s rhetoric.Mr Buhari was elected president on March 28, 2015, and sworn-in on May 29 of that year. He will wrap up his first four-year term on May 29, barely two weeks’ time.

As with the first statement by the army, the Defence Headquarters alarm failed to gain traction in public debate, and Mr Abubakar and the PDP equally ignored it. Addressing a press briefing shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday afternoon, the information minister said Mr Abubakar and the PDP were exhibiting “desperate tactics” to “sabotage the Buhari administration.”

The army chief said at the time that some politicians had approached officers with an agenda that included overthrowing the government because Mr Buhari was away in London on a prolonged medical vacation. Mr Buratai did not clarify what he meant by “what transpired before this administration came on board” during the interview, but it could possibly be a reference to Nigeria’s ordeal under military regimes until 1999.

opeyemiagbaje Buhari is now a dictator, he expects us to accept the illegality that, foist him on us for a second term...

Since the last four years we have been in tension, I think this is an alien tension or probably a Nigeria we don't know about.

Past tension or present tension or future tension? Which tension abeg?

The only heat I'm feeling now is that nepa has refused to give us light for the past one week.

Why is Atiku and his team always forgetting to remind buhari that buhari is the coup plotter. 🙋

the thunder that will fire these APC idiots don dress up finish

OK let the battle Begin

Lai Mohammed raised false alarm of a coup Buratai dispels the alarm but claimed opposition behind the insecurity. AkwaiTension

Our politicians are terrible, do you need to accused someone without a cogent and valid evidence all in attempt to justify and satisfy one person? NIGERIA we hail thee

The presidential election was massively rigged by tyrant MBuhari. The wicked mass murderer tyrant Buhari is desperate. atiku beware

The fear of ATIKU is the beginning of Wisdom!.....Now it is obvious that Buhari will loose the case in the Tribunal. He is now playing dangerous politics with the intention of declaring state of emergency and rule under decree indefinitely...We will Resist Him.✊🏻✊🏻

Which Nigeria are they talking about? This Nigeria that I have been enjoying power supply since Monday? This Nigeria that is as cool as ice water except for small few spots? I don't understand oh. Fear will kee some people because if their bad ways.
