BEVERLY HILLS, May 19 (THEWILL) – National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has declared that Nigerians will defend their democracy if anything such as a coup occurs in Nigeria.
Abdullahi was reacting to an alarm by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai that some individuals were approaching some Army officers and soldiers for undisclosed political reasons warning the officers against planning a coup.
Buratai also cautioned the unnamed politicians who have been placed under surveillance by security agencies and therefore warned and advised all officers and soldiers interested in politics, to resign their commission or apply for voluntary discharge forthwith.
Reacting, the APC chieftain declared that “we have hesitated to react so far because we think that the house belongs to us so we wanted to wait for Nigerians to react and Nigerians have reacted.
“If there was any such thing in the offing, I think it is clear to everyone that Nigerians will defend their own democracy.”
