The inauguration of Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu is set to hold on May 29.
Many persons fear what might happen that day, as there are many oppositions, groups and individuals against Tinubu’s inauguration.
There have been numerous threats to disrupt the event if the government insists on going ahead with the inauguration without resolving the issues at the Tribunal.
However, the Defence Headquarters says they are equal to the task.
The Defence Headquarters has issued a stern warning to those plotting to sabotage the handover of power to Tinubu on May 29, to desist from such plans.
We Are On Standby
On Thursday, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Musa Danmadami, said the armed forces were on standby.
According to him, they would ensure a smooth transition process 24 days from today.
Also, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, says the military will crack down on potential threats to national security.
He particularly warned the Indigenous People of Biafra, Eastern Security Network, and other fringe groups not to test the will of the military.
Nothing Will Happen
Meanwhile, some aggrieved candidates had kicked against the planned inauguration of the president-elect.
They are calling for an interim national government.
But Danmadami says that the military would ensure the inauguration was not derailed.
“I will reiterate that we are on standby to make sure that nothing unwanted happens; that the issue of threat to the security and stability of the country is addressed promptly.
