"Join hands with Tinubu, don't go on exile", Natives tell Obi, Atiku

LEGIT NG

A pro-Nigeria and anti-sabotage group on the platform of The Natives has asked presidential candidates of Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, not to abandon the country but join hands with the President-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to rebuild Nigeria. 

The Natives asked the duo to emulate President Muhammadu Buhari who, after losing presidential elections thrice allowed Court processes and stayed back in Nigeria to contribute to democratic growth.

Addressing a press conference Wednesday in Abuja, the Supreme Leader of the Natives, Hon. Smart Edwards, specifically thanked the military, Police and the Directorate of State Security Service (DSS) for exposing plot by some opposition elements for an interim national government.

Hon. Edwards also commended the security agencies for their commitments toward sustaining democracy in Nigeria.

According to Edwards, the DSS as an establishment acted swiftly to promptly alert and urgently inform the public of the capricious tendencies of desperate feudal political oligarchies, using unsuspecting youths to rubbish all institutions of government and denigrate them to promote anarchy and acts of discountenance in the country.

“We must at this juncture openly commend profusely the swift response of the DSS under their Director General, the Defense Headquarters, and the entire Intelligence community for their professionalism and commitment to their democratic obligation by alerting, and distancing the establishment from any complicity and readiness to frustrate any mischievous effort to truncate our much-cherished democracy.

“You may wish to know that pathetic political jobbers parading the nation appealing for Interim national government because of their conspiracy theories and illusions on the outcome of the just concluded elections have attracted shame for themselves and their co- travellers by the dignity of our gatekeepers, a worthy armed forces.”

While emphasising that Nigerian Military and the intelligence community deserve global applause, the Natives leader said Nigeria has been awake to the emergence of political saboteurs reminiscent of June 12, 1993, roaming the nation in search of collaborators to truncate 24 years of uninterrupted democracy in the country.

“These saboteurs by their open and sinister moves have been bungled and busted by the Vigilance and verity of the Department of State Security.

“So for taking a professional stand and democratic position in the face of intending political catastrophe, protecting our constitution, and non-interference in the statutory roles of the Electoral body, our military and intelligence community deserves global applause.

“Towards this end, the Natives of Nigeria encourage the Military and the intelligence community to remain ever-committed to Civilian rule and sustain their character as professionals and defenders of our sovereignty.
