Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has urged President Bola Tinubu to use the same might the Nigerian Armed Forces displayed against those behind the failed attempted coup in Benin Republic to crush terrorists operating in Nigeria.
Adeyanju said the intervention of the Nigerian Armed Forces should be a clear signal to those undermining democracy within the Sahel that their days are numbered.
He made the call while commending Tinubu for his intervention in halting the attempted coup in Benin Republic.
In a terse statement he signed, Adeyanju said Nigerians should be proud of Tinubu’s intervention.
He said: “I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the gallant Nigerian Armed Forces for their decisive intervention that helped halt the attempted coup in the Republic of Benin.
“This is truly a proud moment for me as a Nigerian who loves democracy and understands the dangers of military rule.
“Let this stand as a clear signal to all who seek to undermine democracy in the Sahel that their days are numbered.
“The same might displayed in Benin should be applied with even greater resolve to crush the terrorist groups operating within our borders, so that Nigeria can truly lead by example.”
