The federal government has dismissed the possibility of a military coup against President Bola Tinubu.

According to the minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris, Nigeria has gone past the era of forceful military takeovers.

Idris made this known while reacting to the recent coups in two African countries – Niger Republic and Gabon.

“I can tell you that there is no fear or apprehension at all. We have gone past that, and we have been a democratic country all this while with the institutions of democracy getting stronger,” the minister announced.

Recall that Wednesday’s military takeover in Gabon bring to seven the number of coups on the continent within the past three years.
