“The *“RevolutionNow Movement”* call for mass action across the country against the Federal Government of Nigeria is ill-time and uncalled for. 


“At a time when Nigeria is battling with barrage of Security Challenges no sane or right thinking individual will

be instigating the populace against the Government and calling for total short down of Nigeria. 

“We call all security agencies to take charge and not allow any dissidents and foreign agents to draw us back as a nation. 

The statement added that “The RevolutionNow Protest and the Convener are opposite  in nature hence it became worrisome and explicitly pertinent for every concern Nigerians to ask several questions, the questionable antecedents and alleged fraudulent AAC National Chairman/Former Presidential Candidate send a big signal which deserve details verification.

“As this can be best described as deliberate attempt to destabilise Nigeria and government of President Muhammed Buhari. 

As such any group of persons  collaborating the call for revolution protest is unpatriotic.

“We call on all our members and Nigerian youth in general to always be law abiding and not to allow anybody or agents of the fourth columnist to use them as cannon fodder. 

Abdullahi said “The Federal Government of Nigeria under the astute leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR is putting in his best in and working round the clock towards rejuvenating and repositioning our nation’s economy for her overall socio-economic development for the benefit of all Nigerians. 

“Government must avert and tame the attempt to plug our nation into crisis and civil unrest by this set of greedy and political jobbers who are perceived to be under sponsorship of the external enemies of our dear nation.”
