National Security Adviser warns State Governors against intimidating opposition

Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, NSA, Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd) has warned state governors against using thugs to prevent opposition parties from mounting campaign materials in their domains.

Speaking at the 60th session of the weekly Ministerial Media Briefing organized by the Presidential Communications Team in Abuja on Thursday, Monguno said law enforcement agencies will be on the ground to counter their moves.

He was reacting to reports of state governors implementing policies that prevent the presence of opposition campaign materials in their states and blamed the action on what he called an inferiority complex.

Monguno warned governors to restrain their thugs. adding that President Muhammadu Buhari has given clear directives that the 2023 election must be free, fair and credible.

The NSA warned the governors to “call their Capo regime to order because when we move, there will be no hiding place.”
