One of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s supporters, Mr. Joe Ibokwe, has released a photo claiming the man who was the ringleader of the coup that the Nigerian government allegedly announced this morning. His name is Brigadier General Ma’aji.
Mr. Ibokwe wrote that, “I hear that this is the face of the man who led the coup against PBAT . He will collect well well. Some people think PBAT is joking. No sir . He is here to rework, retool, rejig, reposition, refix, rewind and reinstall Nigeria. What you sow you reap. So some people think PBAT na their mate abi? May thunder fire the devil a trillion times.”
This morning the Federal Government announced names of military officers who were accused of plotting to overthrow the Tinubu’s administration. They were all Northern Nigerian Muslims with two Christians. The North during the hunger protest had called for military takeover with protesters being given Russian flags. Some group obviously sponsored the Russian flag, with protesters asking the Russian government to come help them topple the Nigerian government because of rumours that Russian militias were around West Africa, particularly in the countries that military toppled their government.
