There have been unconfirmed reports of a plot to remove acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that any attempt to overthrow President Buhari will be resisted by Nigerians.

Recently, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Tukur Buratai warned soldiers to stay away from politics.

According to reports, Buratai also alleged that some politicians have been approaching soldiers.

In a statement released by the spokesman of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullah, the party said “We have hesitated to react so far because we think that the house belongs to us, so we wanted to wait for Nigerians to react and Nigerians have reacted.

“If there was any such thing in the offing, I think it is clear to everyone that Nigerians will defend their own democracy.”
