The Presidency also described calls for the nationwide protests under the hashtags #TinubuMustGo and #Revolution2024 as treasonable.
In a lengthy tweet published on his X page, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused Obi and his supporters of spreading the hashtags, alleging that they are not democrats but anarchists.
Onanuga, however, floated a Save-Nigeria-Rally from August 1-15, 2024, in response to plans for nationwide protests from August 1-10 against the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
He claimed that those organising the protests were also behind the #EndSARS protests of October 2020, which later turned violent.
Onanuga accused the protest organisers of lacking the patience to wait for another election in 2027, but instead wanting to destabilise Nigeria by staging a civilian coup against President Bola Tinubu.
