The Presidency on Tuesday claimed it has evidence to show
that some “disruptive elements” are recruiting ethnic groups and politicians
with the motive of convening conferences where a vote of no confidence will be
passed on the President Muhammadu Buhari.
It said the purpose of the move was to further throw the
country into turmoil.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘Our response to DSS alert,
by Presidency.’
Adesina was giving further insights into a recent claim by
the Department of State Services that some people were planning to undermine
the government and the nation’s sovereignty.
The presidential spokesman however said the present regime
would keep the country together, even if some unruly feathers would be ruffled
in the process.
He claimed that some disgruntled religious and past
political leaders are behind the plans.
The statement read, “The Department of State Services on
Sunday alerted on sinister moves by misguided elements to wreak havoc on the
government, sovereignty and corporate existence of the country.
“Championed by some disgruntled religious and past political
leaders, the intention is to eventually throw the country into a tailspin,
which would compel a forceful and undemocratic change of leadership.
“Further unimpeachable evidence shows that these disruptive
elements are now recruiting the leadership of some ethnic groups and
politicians round the country, with the intention of convening some sort of
conference, where a vote of no confidence would be passed on the President,
thus throwing the land into further turmoil.
“The caterwauling, in recent times, by these elements, is to
prepare the grounds adequately for their ignoble intentions, which are designed
to cause further grief for the country.
“The agent provocateurs hope to achieve through artifice and
sleight of hands, what they failed to do through the ballot box in the 2019
elections.
“Nigerians have opted for democratic rule, and the only
acceptable way to change a democratically elected government is through
elections, which hold at prescribed times in the country. Any other way is
patently illegal and even treasonable. Of course, such would attract the
necessary consequences.
“These discredited individuals and groups are also in
cahoots with external forces to cause maximum damage in their own country. But
the Presidency, already vested with mandate and authority by Nigerians till
2023, pledges to keep the country together, even if some unruly feathers would
be ruffled in the process.”
