SPECIAL Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Social Media accused those behind the plots of spreading falsehoods and attempting to discredit government officials.
In a post of X, Dada Olusegun accused those behind the “EndBadGovernance” and “Tinubu Must Go” protests of spreading falsehoods and attempting to discredit government officials.
Olusegun drew a parallel with Governor Zulum’s son, who, according to him, was falsely accused of murder, and later criticised for his English fluency when he denied the allegations.
“They want to burn the country down,” Olusegun warned. “Our fiduciary responsibility is to stop them!”
This latest alarm follows a previous warning by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, who alleged that supporters of Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, are masterminds of the planned protests across the country.
Onanuga claimed that the same individuals who instigated the destructive #EndSARS protests in October 2020 are now planning to stage nationwide protests.
The presidency consequently described the protesters as “anarchists” and “bad losers” who cannot wait for the next election in 2027. Onanuga warned that their actions amounted to high treason and called on security agents to interrogate those involved.
A 10-day protest is planned to begin on 1st August with Nigerians expected to take to the streets to demand better living conditions and an end to economic hardship.
