We Will Not Tolerate Coup—Military

 

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has said the Nigerian military will not accept anyone pushing or calling for a change of government.

Musa stated this on Monday in a chat with State House correspondents after the National Security Council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Defence chief warned those calling for a coup in the country to desist from such, saying that the military had accepted democracy and would not accept any regime change.

He said, “Also, the issue of coups, Nigeria is a sovereign nation, Nigeria is a democratic nation all security agencies are here to defend democracy and ensure that democracy continues to strive. We will not accept anyone pushing or taking any action, seemingly or for whatever reason, to want to push for any change of government. Democracy is what we stand for. Democracy is what we will continue to defend.

“We’ve said that clearly that the military is going to step in when it is out of hand, and you can see that for people supervising elements to push individuals to carry Russian flags in Nigeria, Nigeria sovereignty, that is crossing the red line and we will not accept that. And those ones who have done that will go in for the books, and they want to be prosecuted
