The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS on Monday berated Omoyele Sowore and his fellow organizers of the RevolutionNow march over ongoing protest, describing their action as akin to a coup against a democratic government.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Zonal Coordinator, NANS Zone A, Umar Farouk Lawal, commended the Department of State Services for its prompt response, stressing that the planned protest would have degenerated if prompt action was not taken.
“For us, there will be no compromise when it comes to putting the nation first over and above any other consideration, it is Nigeria first and Nigeria always.
“It is without doubt that our nation is going through series of challenges ranges from insurgency, banditry to armed robbery and kidnapping resulting from many years of mis-governance, but calling for revolution is akin to coup d’etat against a legitimate government of Nigeria.
It is call for chaos and civil unrest to topple the duly democratically elected Muhammadu Buhari led administration.
“Change of government should be via the constitutionally guaranteed means such as through the ballots or impeachment proceedings of the national assembly.
As a matter of urgency, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration must come up with other social intervention programmes to complement the existing ones that will empower millions of citizens and lift them out of poverty.”
