Leaders of Nigeria’s various ethnicities under the aegis of ‘The Natives’ have commenced a vigil in the nation’s capital, Abuja, as part of their effort to stop those canvassing for a parallel government opposed to the incoming administration of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The group which staged a rally within the Three Arms Zone on Friday, said it will continue the vigil until Tinubu is sworn in on May 29.

Supreme Leader of The Natives, Olalekan Smart Edwards who led the walk said those who lost in the last presidential election should begin to restrategize, rather than working with fifth columnists to sabotage Tinubu’s inauguration.

“The country belongs to all of us. The resources Asiwaju will superintend belong to all of us. We are not against anybody, but we are against such madness and the attempt to bring out a factional president in the country.
Having said that, I want to inform us that we are going to start a vigil. We are going to hold it on the streets of Abuja until Asiwaju is sworn in. We are going to stay until the day that baton is given to him and until he is announced the sitting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is democracy and this is a country we must protect.

“No one group or persons nor party should act as sovereigns, they are not and will never be. Hence we call on their sponsors to refrain from this unstable, insane and undemocratic act that will only expose them as political neophytes.
