President Bola Tinubu will not fall for allegations made that his Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and Minister of State of Defence, Bello Matawalle, are plotting to remove him from office and impose a military government, according to former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode.

Fani-Kayode called the video, which purportedly showed Musa plotting to unseat Tinubu and take over as president, to be fake.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, posted a video on X, claiming that it was intended to force Tinubu to sack some of his best appointees.

According to Fani-Kayode: “Now come the devious and vicious lies presented in a malevolent, morbid and well-orchestrated campaign of calumny and disinformation designed to engender suspicion, fear, division and panic in our ranks.

“A situation whereby fake stories and doctored videos are being peddled all over social media claiming that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, is poised to take over the reigns of Government and become Head of State and that the Minister of State of Defence, Bello Matawalle, is spying for and collaborating with the military Government of Niger Republic to topple the Tinubu administration clearly reflects the fact that the intention of those that are peddling such egregious and nonsensical falsehood is to sow division within the Government and mislead the President into firing some of his best, most trusted, most vocal and most loyal hands with a view to weakening him and making him vulnerable.

“This is a dummy that President Tinubu must not fall for.”
