Retired Generals Send Coup Warning To Tinubu
,,,,,Some retired military generals have cautioned the Nigerian government, led by President Bola Tinubu, that the key to preventing a coup in the country is for the democratically elected government to adhere to the constitution and promote good governance.
,,,,,These generals, in an interview with PUNCH, stressed that while coups are undesirable, people no longer wish to be taken for granted.
,,,,,The Nigerian government, however, downplayed concerns about a coup, stating that the country has moved beyond forcible leadership seizures. It emphasized the widespread acceptance of democracy among Nigerians and the strengthening of democratic institutions.
Former Chief of Defence Staff, Alexander Ogomudia, stated that the occurrence of coups reflects how elected governments govern their nations. He stressed that if a government fulfills its campaign promises and upholds the constitution, there would be no moral justification for supporting a coup against it.
…..Brig.-Gen. Phillip Ashim reiterated that the key to preventing coups in Africa is ensuring good governance. Brig.-Gen. John Sura (retd.) emphasized the importance of respecting the constitution and democratic framework, while Major General Henry Ayoola (ret.) urged politicians to govern according to the rules, practice true democracy, and adhere to the rule of law.
,,,,,The retired generals believe that good governance, adherence to democratic principles, and respect for the rule of law are essential in preventing coups and maintaining stability in African nations. They also emphasized the need for leaders to address the disenchantment and grievances of their citizens to foster stability and peace.
