Garba Adamu Accuses Ukraine and CIA of Sabotaging Nigerian Protests
Garba Adamu, a former presidential aspirant from the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made serious allegations against Ukraine and the CIA concerning the recent EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria.
Adamu claims that these entities were involved in spreading Russian flags among the protesters in an attempt to undermine President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Adamu asserts that Ukraine, in collaboration with the CIA and certain domestic political allies, orchestrated this act as part of a broader strategy to destabilize Nigeria’s current government.
This accusation follows reports that some EndBadGovernance protesters in Northern Nigeria were seen waving Russian flags during the demonstrations.
The Department of State Services (DSS) responded by apprehending the tailor responsible for making the flags.
In a statement posted on X, Adamu elaborated on his claims, suggesting that the presence of the Russian flags was a deliberate effort by Ukraine and the CIA to sabotage the Nigerian government.
He further contends that this incident is part of a larger pattern of Ukraine trying to extend its conflict with Russia into Africa, pointing to recent similar actions in Mali where Ukraine allegedly allied with terrorists against the local government.
Adamu warned that Nigeria needs to be vigilant and strategic in its approach to the political dynamics of the Sahel region, emphasizing that while the situation is complex, it presents opportunities that should be navigated wisely.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
