The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has said that it would not accept anarchy under the veil of a nationwide protest.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Edward Buba made this known while speaking during a press conference on Thursday 25th July.
He stated that “contemporary context” of the planned protest in Nigeria is to “shadow what is happening in Kenya”.
Recall that during an emergency meeting in Abuja on Wednesday July 24, all the federal ministers were also directed to visit their respective states between Wednesday (July 24) and Thursday August 1, when the protests are scheduled to begin.
This is as select ministers will also interface with state governors at the 143rd session of the National Economic Council at the Council Chamber of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Thursday July 25th.
This formed part of the action points from the emergency meeting between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and all ministers in Abuja on Wednesday morning.
It was gathered that Special Advisers to the President on Policy and Coordination, Ms. Hadiza Bala-Usman; Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga and former Minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, were among those invited for the meeting convened to discuss the ‘Planned Nationwide Protest.’
