If You Seek To Effect Regime Change By Rebellion, You May Lose More Than You Bargained – Fani-Kayode Warns Protesters

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned intending protesters against creating havoc in the country.

Naija News reports that some aggrieved Nigerians have scheduled a nationwide protest slated for August 1-10 over the current economic situation in the country.

In a post via X on Tuesday, Fani-Kayode said intending protesters should take lessons from what is happening in Sudan and appreciate the torment that reckless actions and defective reasoning may result in.

According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, indulging in violence and seeking to effect a regime change through rebellion, revolution, and force of arms will be resisted, and protesters may lose more than they bargained for.

He wrote, “To those that are planning to create havoc in our nation with their nationwide protest from August 1st I say the following: take note of what is happening in Sudan and appreciate the torment that reckless actions and defective reasoning may result in.

“If you indulge in violence and seek to effect regime change by rebellion, revolution and the force of arms you will wake up a sleeping sword, you will be effectively resisted, you may lose far more than you bargained for and you may not have a country left. My advice to you is as follows: seek peace and if you must protest do so peacefully and with caution.”
