Tinubu Aide Accuses Peter Obi’s Supporters of Plotting Nationwide Chaos and Treason
Bayo Onanuga, a senior aide to President Bola Tinubu, has accused supporters of Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, of plotting to create chaos in Nigeria.
Onanuga suggested that Obi should be held accountable for any unrest resulting from these planned nationwide protests.
Onanuga’s allegations are that Obi’s supporters, whom he disparages as failed politicians, are the same group that was behind the destructive ENDSARS protests in October 2020.
He claims these supporters have joined forces with IPOB members to undermine the government, spreading hashtags like ‘EndBadGovernance’ and ‘Revolution2024’ to incite rebellion against President Tinubu’s administration.
He criticized the protesters as anarchists rather than democrats, accusing them of attempting a civilian coup due to their dissatisfaction with the 2023 election results. Onanuga warned that these actions could be interpreted as calls for treason.
Additionally, Onanuga pointed to various online figures and activities, such as an anonymous radio station and individuals like Babatunde Gbadamosi and General Oluchi, who are allegedly promoting these protests.
He argued that rather than creating disorder, citizens should wait for the next election in 2027 to address their grievances.
He emphasized that the Tinubu administration is taking steps to address economic challenges, including wage increases, loans for students, and agricultural investments.
Onanuga concluded that the government is working to improve the economy and should be given time to fulfill its mandate.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
