The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be honest with Nigerians on the real reasons behind the sudden and rather abrupt change in the leadership of the Nigerian military.
A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi acknowledged that the President, as the Commander-in-Chief, reserves the power to make such changes as he may deem fit, are concerned that this change is coming in the wake of widespread rumours of an attempted coup.
“As an opposition political party, our interest remains the stability of our country and our democracy. In the light of developments in our neighbourhood of Chad and the Sahel States, we are gravely concerned.
“Our position remains therefore that the Federal Government owes Nigerians a categorical explanation about what truly happened.
According to the statement, “This action of near wholesale change in the leadership of the country’s military, if anything, will only further promote rumours and conspiracy theories.”
ASC reiterated their earlier position that the Federal Government must address the issue transparently and reassure Nigerians that country’s democracy is not under threat.
