The embattled National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has vowed to crush any Military coup plot, against the current administration.
Tinubu who many believe is making desperate efforts to contest the 2019 Presidency, made this known when he addressed members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, on Monday.
Recall, that the Chief of Army Staff, TY Burutai, had last week raised an alarm, that some Politicians are hobnobbing with some to Army Officers, to over throw the Federal Government of President Muhamamdu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
Report making rounds revealed that some of the alleged coup plotters, are from the Northern part of the country, who do not want power to swing to the South, due to Buhari’s dwindling health status.
While speaking, Tinubu warned the Military that: “there is no place for them in Lagos, and in the country”.
“We will not buy it. Lagos will resist it. Nigeria is hard to be broken. Many died to get this democracy, and those who intend to break it are mistaken. Nigerians will not buy a coup now."
“You will have no fertile ground to plant the seed in Lagos. It is a bad product, and I can assure you that we will reject it. Lagos will resist any form of action that plans to end the democracy we clamour for.”
