NUPENG cautions against coup, charges security agencies to expose planners

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has condemned activities of some individuals allegedly circulating documents and calling for the overthrow of the Buhari administration.

It said the sponsors of the document under the aegis of the Nigerian Continuity and Progress (NCP), never meant well for the country.
The oil workers, who described the act as attempted treason against the Nigerian State and the laws of the land, urged an urgent overhaul of the country’s security architecture to nip the dangerous phenomenon in the bud.

In a statement issued yesterday by its National President, Williams Akporeha, NUPENG said its leadership would not hesitate to mobilise its members and resources across the country to ensure that the nation’s democracy was protected against being truncated by some desperate individuals who do not wish Nigeria well.

It expressed confidence that Nigeria’s democracy has come to stay and could no longer be threatened or usurped by military coup under whatever guise.
