President Bola Tinubu on Monday met with his security chiefs, including paramilitary heads on Monday, where they reviewed the antecedents that have trailed the hunger protests in parts of the country in the last five days.
Tinubu had expressed dismay over the flying of the Russian flags by protesters, where he gave the military chiefs stern directives. Recall that while the protest festered in some states, the Russian flag with Red, Blue and White colours was spotted in Kano, Plateau, Kaduna and Zamfara States. The President is believed to have told the service chiefs that the trend was totally unacceptable and should be curtailed at all cost.
So nobody should allow himself to be used by any individual. 'Also the issue of coups, Nigeria is a sovereign nation, Nigeria is a democratic nation all security agencies are here to defend democracy and ensure that democracy continues to strive. We will not accept anyone pushing or taking any action, seemingly or for whatever reason to want to push for any change of government. 'Democracy is what we stand for, democracy is what we will continue to defend.
