Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity on Thursday said the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took advantage of the ongoing #EndSARS protests nationwide to plot a return to power in 2023.
In his weekly article titled ‘IF NIGERIA DIES, HATRED KILLED HER’, Adesina said after 60 years, Nigeria may not move beyond where she is today owing to the hatred by many people, including Nigerians themselves.
According to him, while the concern of the #EndSARS protesters was genuine, they allowed it to be hijacked by external forces especially by political forces who wanted power in 2023.
He added that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which was defeated in the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections by the All Progressives Congress (APC) also took advantage of the protests to plot a return to power in 2023.
