As a consequence, these charlatans do not stand any chance in the next general elections, even if they band together, hence their resort to anti-democratic means to force a regime change,” Oriri stated.Accusations of anti-democratic tacticsSuch incitement includes clandestinely sponsoring insurrection in the name of popular citizens protests to overthrow the government and precipitate an interim or transitional government that is alien to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, the statement read.Tambuwal, El-Rufai, and Amaechi Accused of enabling insecurityAminu Waziri Tambuwals outing as Sokoto State Governor is pivotal to the birth of banditry, of which he is yet to come clear about his role in this perverted phenomenon.Nasiru el-Rufais tenure as Kaduna State governor birthed kidnap-for-ransom after he bizarrely made huge payments to rampaging herders, a phenomenon that opened the eyes of criminals to how they can abduct Nigerians to make money, and which later fused into banditry,” JAD claimed. Rotimi Amaechis tenure as the governor of Rivers State cannot be divorced from the arming of militants who later crippled the nations oil infrastructure, which is now only being rebuilt.This failed state scenario is what they plan to replicate on a national scale to justify their bid to overthrow the government,” Oriri said.Calls for government actionWe are further concerned that given utterances from the recent meeting at which these people alluded to a weak government, their series of recent clandestine meetings with foreign interests, the incitement of citizens to engage in violent protests, desperate attempts to cobble together an alliance that is doomed to fail, and baseless attacks on the government, this collection of politicians are up to mischief that could undermine Nigerias democracy, Oriri warned.Presidency drags El-Rufai over anti-APC comment
