Tension in Aso Rock Over calls for military takeover; presidency kicks The Presidency has reacted to calls for military takeover amid hardship.
The presidency has condemned suggestions and spoken against the call for military intervention in the administration of Nigeria.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement on Saturday, submitted that there is no justification to incite calls for military intervention based on transient difficulties and hardships Nigerians are going through.
Speaking against the backdrop of an article published by The Guardian Newspaper, Onanuga said the author is fanning the flames of military intervention under the guise of journalism while neglecting the tenets of responsible journalism.
The presidential spokesperson accused the platform of propagating negative narratives about the actions and policies of the administration of President Tinubu.
He argued further that President Tinubu has consistently called for understanding and patience amid the nation’s challenges, adding that the President’s plea is not a sign of weakness but an affirmation of his dedication to a brighter future for Nigeria.
Onanuga submitted that the recent policy changes initiated by the federal government are yielding positive economic indicators.
