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.

Published

on


Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.

At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.

The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.

The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
