The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the Federal Government of President Bola Tinubu of desperately driving Nigeria into war for selfish objectives, according to DAILY POST. The planned battle with Niger Republic, according to Debo Ologunagba, is raising tensions in Nigeria.
According to Ologunagba, the APC is attempting to plunge Nigeria into war by dragging “our military into a needless conflict with Niger Republic.” According to Ologunagba, “the PDP observes that the APC administration’s insistence on drafting Nigerian soldiers into Niger Republic, despite the National Assembly’s and Nigerians’ widespread opposition, validates public fears of the Tinubu-led APC’s ulterior motives to import crisis and destabilise our nation for political reasons.
“While the PDP opposes unconstitutional government changes anywhere in the world, our Party believes that the situation in Niger Republic does not warrant any external peace-keeping effort and does not pose any threats to our national interest to justify committing our already overstretched military to harm’s way in a needless war. “The APC government’s insistence on going to war in Niger Republic is already raising tensions in Nigeria.
“There are public insinuations that the APC is only desperate to deploy Nigerian military to Niger Republic in order to provoke possible external aggression from that country, thereby orchestrating a situation for the declaration of a State of Emergency in Nigeria, which has the potential to cripple the judicial process on the 2023 Presidential election and divert attention away from the hardship the APC has foisted on the nation in the last two months.”
