A prominent ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condemned efforts to unseat the President, describing them as "selfish" and "undemocratic".
Khamis Musa Darazo, a known loyalist of the President, said attempts to remove Tinubu from office are driven by personal ambition rather than a genuine concern for the nation's progress.
"Plotting against President Tinubu for selfish interests is a political crime that the masses will not forgive," Darazo said in an interview with journalists. "Democracy thrives on constructive criticism, not conspiracies designed to hijack the people’s mandate."
Darazo emphasized that Tinubu should be given the space to implement reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy, strengthening institutions, and promoting national cohesion.
"Premature power struggles only distract from governance and erode public confidence in the democratic process," he noted.
The loyalist urged political leaders to prioritize issue-based engagement and support policies that promote national development, rather than fueling division for personal gain.
"The Nigerian people are watching closely. History will judge those who choose personal ambition over the collective interest of the nation," Darazo added.
He also called on citizens, particularly young people, to remain vigilant and resist narratives that could destabilize the country, stressing that sustainable progress can only be achieved through respect for democratic institutions and the rule of law.
