Renowned cleric Bishop Kayode Williams has declared that there would be no coup d’etat in Nigeria, stressing that the strident calls for coup was being mooted by those with a poor sense of history.
Williams, the presiding bishop of Christ Vessels of Grace Church Inc. who spoke with our correspondent on Saturday against the backdrop of the recent takeover of government in Niger and Gabon, both within West and Central Africa by military juntas, said he received divine admonitions that individuals and groups fanning the embers of war and confusion in the country, should desist forthwith in order to attract the wrath of God.
“Why will any sane person call for military takeover in the return? That’s in the past. Never again will there be a military rule in this country,” he said.
According to him, those calling for return to military rule do not mean well for the country and are only interested in destabilising the its people and region.

In his latest column titled “Tinubu definitely graduated from Chicago State University,” the US-based Professor wrote: “In June 2022, when fresh, widely shared, and obviously politically inspired doubts were raised about the authenticity of Tinubu’s graduation from CSU, I took advantage of my being a professor here in the US and reached out to friends and colleagues at the school to help me verify this information.
“A friend, who is a professor of English at the university, went to the registrar’s office and confirmed that Tinubu indeed attended and graduated from CSU. “
