Atiku Moody's downgrade of Nigeria

The Federal Government has concrete evidence of plans by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its 2019 presidential candidate to make the country ungovernable, the minister of information and culture Lai Mohammed said on Saturday.

Speaking during the Ramadan Lecture in his Oro country home in Irepeodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, the minister called on Nigerians to be cautious and continue to give support to the Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government.

“Our interventions are based on credible evidence, and no government with the kind of evidence that we have of plans to subvert the power of the state, attack the nation’s economic live wire and generally unleash mayhem on the polity, will keep quiet. 

“The security agencies are all alert to their responsibilities and will not sit by and allow anyone to reverse the gains of our democracy under any guise. “

“Since our intervention, pseudo and partisan analysts have teamed up with the spokesmen for the main opposition party and its presidential candidate to either exhibit their ignorance or to engage in red herring and name calling.”,

“As you are aware, a few days ago we raised the alarm that either by themselves or via their proxies, the PDP and it’s presidential candidate are doing everything possible to sabotage the Buhari Administration, generally overheat the polity and make Nigeria seemingly ungovernable.

“Of course, you are aware of similar alarms that have been raised by the police, the military and the DSS,” the government’s mouthpiece said.

He thus called on Nigerians to give unflinching support for the Buhari administration saying:

“I make this request against the background of those who are daily plotting to exploit our national fault lines of religion and ethnicity, those who masquerade as democrats but can’t take electoral defeat, those who will not hesitate to collude with anti-democratic forces and deadenders to fan the embers of violence in the country and those who have elevated their personal ambition over and above our survival as a nation. “
