#EndBadGovernanceProtest: We will not tolerate foreign interference in our domestic affairs — FG warns Russia, others

The Federal Government has vowed to take appropriate action against any country that might be behind the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, made this known while addressing members of the Diplomatic Corps in Abuja on Wednesday, August 7.

According to the minister, “While the government continues to work hard through the various reform programs and measures to address the challenges facing Nigeria and Nigerians, it is pertinent to remind us that no nation tolerates foreign interference in its domestic affairs and that of its citizens. Nigeria is not an exception.

The government would take appropriate action against any foreign entity residing in Nigeria that is found to have directly or indirectly supported the protesters by whatever means or seeks to interfere in the internal affairs of the country.

Nigeria cherishes and continues to value the cordial relationships that happily subsist between her and your countries and organisations and will not do anything to undermine or take for granted such relationships.

Indeed, more than any time before now, we solicit your understanding and collaboration in the ongoing efforts of the Federal government in addressing the economic challenges confronting the country, to achieve a better life for every Nigerians at home and abroad.”
