The Conference of Patriotic Nigerians (COPAN) under the leadership of Barrister Uchenna Odielli has strongly condemned a recent attempt by one Andrew whyne Povich AKA Drew Povey who the Nigeria Police force after detailed investigation declared wanted for sponsoring groups, individuals and some associates resident in Nigeria to destabilise the Tinubu administration through unrests,violence,protests and general uprising.
COPAN said any attempt and plot to overthrow a democratically elected government by foreign actors must be condemned.
“Such actions are a blatant violation of national sovereignty,democratic principles and international law. Interfering with the democratic process and attempting to impose external control undermines the will of the people and threatens global stability.
“We urge all nationals staying in Nigeria to respect the democratic choices of their peers and refrain from engaging in subversive activities.
“Instead, we advocate for diplomatic dialogue,cooperation and mutual respect to address differences and promote peaceful coexistence.
“Let us stand together in defence of our nascent democracy, sovereignty and the rule of law,rejecting any attempts to undermine these fundamental values”We call on Nigerians to be vigilant and support the renewed hope agenda that economic hardship will soon be over. This is trying time but all hands must be on deck to enthrone unity,peace and development which the Tinubu administration stand for.”
