Matawalle, COAS, Musa not planning to overthrow Tinubu – Fani-Kayode

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said President Bola Tinubu will not fall for claims that his Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa and Minister of State of Defence, Bello Matawalle, are planning to overthrow him and install a military regime.

Fani-Kayode described the video of Musa planning to become the Head of State after overthrowing Tinubu as false.

Posting on X, the All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain said the video was aimed at getting 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.”
