Three governors—from the north-central, the north-east, and the south south—plan to destabilize Nigeria in coming weeks, and their reason is not far-fetched.
Moreover, the three governors will be completing their 8 years in office in 2023, and they like to leave a mark behind: an ENDSARS-like protest.
According to the DSS in a report by the Vanguard, the move was to bring the nation to its knees and to make Nigerians kick against the current administration and force a change in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
According to the intelligence report, the north-east governor met with several interest groups, such as civil society organizations, labour leaders, students and disgruntled politicians in Kaduna earlier in the week, seeking their consent for the planned mass protests.
The Kaduna meeting discussed in detail how to mobilize aggrieved Nigerian students who have been forced home by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, face-off with the Federal Government, CSOs, NGOs, and aggrieved politicians to join the planned mass protests.
DSS’ Public Relations Officer Peter Afunanya said the aim was to cause ethno-religious crisis, ignite reprisals and heat up the polity.
