The Federal Government has accused the opposition of plans to sabotage the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and overheat the polity.
It claimed that the opposition was trying to trigger another EndSARS protest in the country.
It also faulted the attempt by the opposition to declare the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) illegal.
It queried why the opposition cannot wait till the 2023 poll to test its popularity.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed, who raised the alarm at a briefing in Abuja, asked the opposition not to promote anarchy.
Mohammed said: “As you know, the folks on the other side have been doing everything in recent times to overheat the polity, distort the achievements of our Administration and spread misinformation.
” Yes, it is very cold out there for the hungry and desperate opposition, but every indication is that they don’t even want to wait for the 2023 elections before testing their popularity or acceptability at the polls.
” How else does one explain their court case seeking the declaration of our convention as illegal? How do you explain their threat of another EndSARS that pushed Nigerians to the brink? How do you explain their glaring misinformation regarding the nation’s state of affairs?
