Military Takeover: Buhari Appeals For Calm In Zimbabwe
Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari has called for calm, peace and respect for the constitution in Zimbabwe.
A statement signed by the president’s special adviser on media & publicity, on Wednesday, 15th November, urged a peaceful resolution for the current situation in Zimbabwe.
President Muhammadu Buhari has called for calm, peace and respect for the constitution in Zimbabwe.
The President urged all political and military stakeholders in Zimbabwe to avoid any action that may plunge the country into unnecessary conflict and impact negatively on the region.
According to President Buhari, “every attempt must be made to resolve all contentious issues by constitutional means in Zimbabwe to save the country from avoidable political instability.”
The appeal by the Nigerian leader came in the wake of reported “military takeover” as a result of rising political tension in the southern African country sequel to President Robert Mugabe’s recent removal of former Vice-President, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
This led to the threat by the head of the Armed Forces of Zimbabwe, General Constantino Chiwenga, that “the military will not hesitate to step in” when the issue had to do with protecting the “revolution.”
Recall the country’s military had taken over control of the government but denied staging a coup.
The military takeover came two days after the army chief, General Constantino Chiwenga, warned that he was prepared to “step in” to save the country from a leadership crisis.
