The Coalition of Nigeria Civil Society Organisations and Concerned People Living With Disabilities in Nigeria has raised the alarm over a subterranean plot by disgruntled politicians to destabilise the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration.

The group accused failed politicians who have become politically irrelevant of clandestinely working behind the scenes to discredit the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through baseless and politically motivated protests.

Spokesperson of the Coalition, Mallam Yusuf Mohammed Jibril, in a statement on Tuesday, claimed that those behind the plot are bent on inciting nationwide unrest to achieve their goal.

Recall that last week, a group of persons had planned to protest against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), a move which was seen by many analysts as a decoy.

The group warned those trying to save their dying political careers by sowing seeds of confusion to desist forthwith from the planned act.

The group urged Nigerians, especially religious leaders, traditional rulers, and the youth, to mobilise their members to continue to show support for the President, as it takes a lot of effort to build what has been completely destroyed.

“As patriots, we are united in our numbers in showing sustained support to the current administration and we urge all opinion leaders to continue to make their voices heard above the noises of our enemies no matter how cunning and crafty their propaganda and reasons for forcing chaotic protests on the nation might be.

“We have not healed from the destructive consequences of the END SARS protest that almost crumbled our economy. If what happened in Egypt, Libya, and recently Kenya will not counsel us to eschew violence against the government, then we are doomed as a people,” the release added.

While admitting that citizens have every right to protest and express their grievances in an acceptable manner, the group distanced itself from the current “forced, sponsored, and ill-motivated protests,” adding that their members across the 89 other Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that form the Coalition “will not be participating in any sham of a protest and will do everything possible to frustrate those protests.” (The Guardian)
