BREAKING: Nigerian Military Confirms Getting Requests To Overthrow President Bola Tinubu


In Niger Republic where the military recently removed the country’s democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has confirmed receiving requests from unnamed persons to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The DHQ suggests that proponents of the coup d’état are basing the calls on alleged poor welfare within the Forces.

The Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, confirmed this in a statement released via the DHQ’s official Twitter account @DefenceInfoNG.

he military frowned on the call for military intervention in the nation’s democracy, labelling such as ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘wicked’, and an attempt to divert the focus of the Armed Forces from their constitutional duties.

While acknowledging the significance of ensuring the welfare of its personnel, the leadership of the DHQ said it remains resolute in safeguarding the principles of democracy in Nigeria.

“We detest any attempt by any individual or group to instigate the law abiding Armed Forces of Nigeria to embark on any unconstitutional change of government in our country. We wish to state unequivocally that the military is happy and better under democracy and Will not get involved in any act to sabotage the hard-earned democracy in our country.

“The AFN under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff, General CG Musa is determined to ensure complete subordination of the Armed Forces to constitutional authority under His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and will not be distracted from its roles that are well defined in the 1999 constitution (as amended),” said Gusau.

On July 26, 2023, a group of soldiers led by General Abdourahamane Tchiani overthrew the government of President Mohamed Bazoum in a military coup.

Tchiani subsequently declared himself the head of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland, while placing his former boss and country’s democratically elected president under house arrest.

Gen Tchiani has so far refused to compromise with any of the suggestions made to him, including appeals by the Tinubu-led ECOWAS to restore democratic rule in the country.

He has kept most international envoys at bay but met with Nigeria’s former central bank governor and former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, on Wednesday, among others.

Any attempted coup could lead to the disintegration of the country. Such should be discovered and never allowed to happen under any circumstances.

The best form of defence is attack. All these are propaganda from Yorubas. They will bring out a propaganda and go back to say that it's from a group.

Since you know they people, what stops you from arresting then?

I am not particularly interested in a military rule because it will certainly set back economic growth of the country.

Just the same way rigging election is treasonable felony, military coup is also treasonable felony.
Please how exactly will a military rule lead-up a total disintegration of Nigeria

If you can prove to me that Op is not one of the biafrans and Ipob/esn sympathizers that has hatred engraved in his gene naturally/artificially, I will send you 3k credit. He talks out of devilish imagination that beclouds his thought. The same hatred/evil spirit pushed FCT indigenes with red caps to court where they were charged to pay N10 millions on top of irrelevant Tinubu matters

Subtle interpretation: Improve the welfare of the military to avoid ‘surprises’.


Not surprised this is coming up after the Senate President’s token blunder the other day.
