Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Saturday, cautioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dissuade from leading Nigeria into unnecessary war over coup in Niger Republic.
Frank, who gave this warning in a statement in Abuja, also accused the President of an alleged plot to go to war in order to enable him declare a state of emergency in Nigeria and suspend the ongoing Presidential Election tribunal.
According to him, the proposed Military action is selfishly motivated for the President to gain political capital by legitimizing his administration and securing the recognition of international bodies that hitherto have not recognized him as duly elected president.
