A group known as the Natives says it will resist any attempt by anyone seeking to have a parallel government in the country.
Speaking with reporters during the demonstration, Smart Edwards, leader of the group, said Nigeria is not a “banana republic” where there is no law and order. “Our attention has been drawn to some incredulous persons who have been brainwashed into imagining victory at the 2023 polls, whose constant cantankerous and mischievous attempts to desecrate our electoral institutions and justify their judicial brigandage are becoming intolerable.”
“We would like to know if any Nigerian regardless of their status have such rights to promote anarchy and desecrate the courts, threaten its judges, advocate parallel government or openly promote chaos. We will not allow it and such will not happen.
