#EndBadGovernance: Military coup no longer acceptable in Nigeria -AI- Mustapha

The former Chief Security Officer to the late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Action Alliance, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, has condemned agitations for a military takeover in the country stressing that military coup is a thing of the past that no longer has a place in Nigeria.

Al-Mustapha stated this on Wednesday in Abuja while addressing select journalists on the hardship being faced by many citizens occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.

He described the call for a military takeover as a misplaced priority stressing that there was no longer room for military intervention in Nigeria’s political affairs.

He noted that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria and advised that Nigeria pick a system of government best suitable for her people rather than being a copycat and adopting America or Britain’s system of government which were chosen because they were best suitable for them.

He also advised those calling for a military takeover to channel their energies into investing in military subordination to democracy, adding that military rule was no longer fashionable the world over.

He said he was now a democrat and would not subscribe to any insubordination to democracy in whatever guise, asking those calling for a coup to drop t idea and rather work to deepen the nation’s democracy.

“I am by definition today, a politician, I am looking at this country today from a democratic sense. We have invested in it and we are investing in it. Our researches are all towards the investment of democratic excellence in Nigeria.
