Bayo Onanuga, a senior to President Bola Tinubu, has alleged that supporters Mr Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, are planning mayhem in Nigeria.
Onanuga claimed that the proposed nationwide protests were
being planned by Obi’s supporters, whom he described as failed presidential
candidate.
According to him, Obi should be held responsible for
whatever crisis that would emanate from the action.
In a post on his X handle on Saturday, Onanuga said the
proposed protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by the
incarcerated IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest
in Nigeria in October 2020.
He wrote: “REVEALED: Peter Obi’s supporters are the people
planning mayhem in Nigeria: Obi should be held responsible for anarchy
“Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage
nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential
candidate of the Labour Party. And he should be held responsible for whatever
crisis emanates from the action.
“The protest planners are also the same people who were
instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest
in Nigeria in October 2020. ENDSARS began as a genuine protest by youths
against the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad, notorious for its
high-handedness. IPOB members planning to extricate the South East region from
Nigeria infiltrated the protest and hijacked it for their own agenda. Lagos
still bears the scar of the malicious destruction by IPOB elements until today.
“Two years after ENDSARS, the IPOB and the gullible
innocents joined the Labour Party in 2022 to support Peter Obi, a sympathiser
of their cause.
They are the people spreading the hashtags
‘EndBadGovernance’, ‘Tinubu Must Go,’ and ‘Revolution2024’. They are not
democrats but anarchists. They are attempting to call out our people via
propaganda because their Messiah, Peter Obi, failed to win the Presidency in
the 2023 election. As bad losers, they don’t have the patience to wait for
another election in 2027; they would rather destabilise Nigeria by staging a
civilian coup against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
If they understand the meaning of their hashtags, they will
realise they are clarion calls for treason. Wanting to end an elected
government is high treason. Wanting revolution is a call for a coup d’etat,
which is also high treason.
I have been on the trail of one of the protest planners, who
is nameless but claims to have an internet radio station, PTM100.88 Abuja. The
anonymous person joined X in August 2022 and has 520 followers today, among
whom are FS Yusuf, another rabid Obi supporter, and Professor Pat Utomi, a
Labour Party chief and a guy on X who goes by the pseudonym Peter Obi’s First
Son. PTM’s profile image has someone holding the inscription` Certificate
Forger Not My President, ‘ with a photo of Peter Obi as an inset. Only Obi’s
supporters will be talking about certificate forgery long after the Supreme
Court dismissed the allegation.
In the past 24 hours, this faceless X user has been whipping
up the gullible to join the protest being planned and also posting the
activities of his Messiah, Peter Obi. He retweets Peter Obi often.
In one of the posts, a video shows a teenager, who is said
to be in the North, printing T-shirts emblazoned with “EndBadGovernance in
Nigeria 2024’.
There is also a retweeted post by Babatunde Gbadamosi, a
failed and frustrated politician in Lagos. In it, he refers to his earlier post
urging people “ to identify APC members, sponsors, supporters, enablers, thugs,
promoters, and appointees.” The police and DSS ought to have arrested the man
for making a brazen threat to political opponents.
There is “General Oluchi,” a woman who goes by the screen
name “A Field Marshall of the Han Dynasty.”
She has been sending out letters of mobilisation. She even
pinned a “Week 6 “ letter urging Nigerians to wake up and take control of their
country, using the language of IPOB, Peter Obi, and his supporters.
Another member of the malcontents is Brother Bernard, also
known as Mikael C. Bernard. He is not based in Nigeria because he was once
busted over Binance and fraudulent crypto businesses in Nigeria. Bernard was
the man who once wrote that the naira should go down to zero.
“In a reaction to Oluchi, he said the protesters should
remove the increase in salaries for the armed forces as part of their demands.
“If they want an increment in salary, let them launch their
own protest. It is not our job to fight for enablers of evil”, he wrote on X.
According to our law, men of the armed forces don’t protest,
an X user reminded him. He posted a sarcastic response: ‘By law, they can slap
people wearing cams ( camouflage) and shoot at protesters ba?”
“Security agents should, by now, begin to interrogate these
agents of destabilisation. There is no country in the world where people are
not going through some economic challenges and where the cost of living is not
a major issue. No country is immune from economic turbulence at the moment.
Civilised and democratic people wait for another election to make leadership
changes. They don’t trigger mayhem in their countries by staging protests, the
end of which nobody can predict.
“Nigerian citizens must consider the government’s attitude
and concern about the cost of living crisis when deciding whether to join the
protests by the Labour Party and IPOB supporters.
“The Tinubu government has not been found wanting in this
regard. The minimum wage has been increased by more than 100 percent. Loans are
being disbursed to students in tertiary schools. A credit corporation has been
launched to promote consumption credit. Palliatives, including the latest
distribution of 740 trucks of rice to the 36 states and Abuja, are being rolled
out. Businesses, such as pharmaceuticals, are being assisted. The Federal and
state governments are investing heavily in agriculture to produce more food.
“The economy is improving, inflation is slowing, the
national debt has been reduced in dollar terms, and the FIRS has increased
revenue generation to record levels. Investors are coming back to our country.
Our stock market is the best in the world, with a 33 percent return on
investment.
“President Tinubu has a four-year mandate to run his agenda.
Those calling for protest should wait till 2027 to either re-elect him or elect
their Messiah, Mr Peter Obi.”
