The Federal Government has accused the opposition of being behind the circulation of a video alleging an explosion at the South African High Commission in Abuja on Saturday.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said in a statement that the purported bomb explosion had taken place at Emab Plaza, near Banex, in Abuja on June 25, 2014.

This comes amidst tension over xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa and the reprisal attacks on facilities owned by South Africans in Nigeria.

Mr Mohammed said the circulation of the video was the work of the ‘desperate’ opposition without mentioning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The statement said: “One would have expected a party that trumpets its belief in the rule of law, a party that challenged the result of the last presidential election in court, to wait patiently for the impending judgement on the issue instead of engaging in underhand tactics and resorting to self-help.”

The minister appealed to Nigerians to check the veracity of any information they receive.

“This is just the beginning. Nigerians should expect an explosion of fake news and disinformation in the days and weeks ahead. This is because the desperation of this opposition is alarming. But their strategy will fail, just like every other dubious strategy that they have been employing in their desperate bid to grab power,” he said.

The opposition should please allow the government to work.

The opposition are the reason there is no constant power supply.
The opposition are the cause of unemployment in my country.
The opposition are the reason people lament about the government on the streets.
The opposition are the ones obstructing the capture of kidnappers, bandits and killer herdsmen.
The opposition are the reason most federal highways are undrivable.
The opposition are the ones luring young Nigerians to go in search of imaginary greener pasture in foreign lands.

The opposition keeps lying about our leaders.
The opposition will not stop hiding the achievements of the government so that we won't see them or appreciate them.


The opposition should allow the ruling party work.
They are the ones preventing the development of our country.

Infact because of how bad the opposition ran down the country when they were in power, it is now unfixable.
That is why the job of our leaders is to tell us that our leaders are not the problem, the opposition is.

We elected them ONLY to remind us that the opposition is the problem.
