Garba said the politicians were using the protest to prove to Tinubu that they have the key to peace and chaos in Nigeria.

A former All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba has made a claim against politicians.

He claimed that some politicians are sponsoring the EndBadGovernance protest to blackmail President Bola Tinubu.

Garba said the politicians were using the protest to prove to Tinubu that they have the key to peace and chaos in Nigeria.

He, however, warned that no politician would be allowed to succeed in using the protest to get political gains from the president.

Posting on X, Adamu wrote: “Nobody. I mean nobody should be allowed to blackmail the President. No political opportunist should be allowed to use the ongoing sponsored riots to corner the President to their political gains.

“The sponsors of the riots should be held accountable and not rewarded.

“The President is the commander in chief of the armed forces and he is the sole representative of the Nigerian Sovereign Authority.

“Blackmailing the President would amount to blackmailing the whole country into submission to the demands of a few disgruntled elements. They should not succeed.

“Granted there are genuine peaceful protesters and they have full right to their protest. It is their constitutional right and they should be protected by the authorities as they protest.

“However, some wrong headed politicians, some biased politicians think that they will use the riots they are sponsoring to prove to the President that they have the keys to peace and chaos in Nigeria. No they don’t.

“The only institution with the keys to peace and stability, the one that should have the full control of state instruments of violence like army, police, DSS, etc is the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Tinubu. And that should be protected and enforced.”
