Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Presidency has declared that President Bola Tinubu is not weak to allow room for the military to take power from him.<\/p>\n

Tinubu\u2019s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made the remark in response to an editorial published by The Guardian, titled, \u2018Misery, harsh policies driving Nigerians to desperate choices\u2019.<\/p>\n

In an open letter condemning the editorial, Onanuga accused the news platform of attempting to incite unrest against Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The letter reads partly: \u201cThe Guardian newspaper\u2019s lead story of Friday, October 25, 2024, with the title: \u201cCalls for military intervention: misery, harsh policies driving Nigerians to desperate choices,\u201d openly incites unrest against President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration and advocates for regime change under the guise of journalism. The inflammatory headline, cartoon and content deviate from responsible reporting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Guardian\u2019s agenda is unmistakable from the cover illustration to the article. In attempting to create a balanced veneer, the author condemns military rule while fanning the flames of military intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must question how The Guardian can present an argument for military intervention while superficially denouncing it unless it harbours a deliberate agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must question how The Guardian can present an argument for military intervention while superficially denouncing it unless it harbours a deliberate agenda. This latest editorial reflects a troubling trend in which the publication has persistently propagated inflammatory and negative narratives, stepping dangerously close to undermining the very fabric of responsible journalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Tinubu has consistently called for understanding and patience amid our nation\u2019s challenges. This plea is not a sign of weakness but an affirmation of his dedication to a brighter future for Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
