Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria condemned in strong terms the recent developments in Cote d’Ivoire in which a small fraction of the country’s Armed Forces mutinied against the Government.

This is contained in a statement by Laolu Akande, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.

It said “Nigeria presses strong and unflinching support for the Government of President Alhassan Ouattara and welcomes ongoing efforts at resolving the crisis.

“In this context, the Federal Government urges the parties to the crisis to exercise maximum restraint, remain calm and continue with dialogue and negotiations with the Government of President Ouattara.

“Nigeria also urges the mutineers to return to their barracks and to refrain from any action capable of undermining the peace, security and democracy in the country.
“The Federal Government further urges the people of Cote d’Ivoire to remain steadfast in their support for the Government and to refrain from giving support to the mutineers in the overall interest of peace, tranquillity, good order and prosperity of the country.

The coup in Cote d’Ivoire occurred at a time Nigeria’s Army Chief, TY Buratai, Tuesday, personally confirmed that politicians were holding meeting with Army officers and soldiers.

He vowed to punish any indicted officer or soldier taking part in such meetings, warning that the Army hierarchy will not sit back and allow mutiny against constituted authority.

His alarm was an affirmation that powerful forces may be enticing Army personnel to come out of the barracks to topple President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

The unholy alliance, it was gathered, followed the health crisis of the President which some elements are trying to use to seize power.


Nigerians have been expressing concern over the alarming statement by the Army chief and more worried over the safety of Acting President Osinbajo due to absence of his principal, Buhari.

We have not been able to do anything when they flog us on the streets and ask us to roll in dirty gutters. Is it when they are armed for a coup we will now fight?

I doubt you live in Nigeria

Fears!

I think if President Buhari gives unflinching support to VP Osibanjo,the pivotal parts of the armed forces will rally behind acting president.

The soldiers still fear President Buhari.


Anything other than this is unpredictable waters i fear!

Attempted coup in Turkey last year.

Never say never.

It is well

If only our politicians would learn to see where their politicking, greed and unabated looting can lead the nation.
Not praying for a coup but developing countries are often enmeshed in the vicious cycle of their democracies being interrupted by military incursion into government.

How many corrupt n stealing politician's have u chased away with sticks n stones before?

In 21st century, africa still battling millitary coup.

When will africa get it right?


Any coup in nigeria will mark the end of the country.

No one is gonna allow hausa/fulani to use back door to rule us again in this country.

If it happens in Nigeria I feel sorry for the elite. The politicians and the ex leaders its most likely to be bloody because these soldiers will face them like Jerry watch out. I don't mind if one happens.

What Coup? Unless there is something I don't know,what we had in Cote d' Ivoire was a mutiny not a coup. Even the mutineers made it clear that it was just a mutiny and that they were not trying to take over the government. They just want their backlog of salaries and wages paid-that's all. So where is the 'coup' part coming from? Besides,I think we should stop worrying about the rest of Africa since they worry less about us. Unless our interests are going to be served. We spent about $12 billion and lost hundreds of men in Liberia and S/Leone and gained nothing. Let us start watching out for our interests only.

When osibande is kicked out, the yorubas should be ready to fight abookies without the rest of the south (SE/SS) which they abuse so much.
