The Federal Government has warned that the security agencies across the country have been put on alert to thwart any effort to sabotage government activities towards improving the situation in the country.

The step taken by the government was made known on Saturday by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at the annual Ramadan lecture held at his hometown, Oro, Kwara State.

He said the alarm raised by the Federal Government over efforts to sabotage its activities was real as there were credible facts to prove the point.

His words:  “As you are aware, a few days ago we raised the alarm that either by themselves or via their proxies, the PDP and it’s presidential candidate are doing everything possible to sabotage the Buhari administration.

“Our interventions are based on credible evidence, and no government with the kind of evidence that we have, of plans to subvert the power of the state, attack the nation’s economic live wire and generally unleash mayhem on the polity, will keep quiet.

“The security agencies are all alert to their responsibilities and will not sit by and allow anyone to reverse the gains of our democracy under any guise.”

The minister who urged Nigerians to pray for peaceful co-existence in the country during the month of Ramadan stated further:

“I make this request against the background of those who are daily plotting to exploit our national fault lines of religion and ethnicity.

“Those who masquerade as democrats but can’t take electoral defeat, those who will not hesitate to collude with anti-democratic forces and deadenders to fan the embers of violence in the country.

“Those who have elevated their personal ambition over and above our survival as a nation.”
