A former Minister of Defence, retired General Theophilus Danjuma, has said that Nigerians will no longer sleep if he reveals what is happening in Nigeria currently.
Danjuma spoke on Friday at the University of Ibadan, during the launch of a book, 70 Years of Progressive Journalism: The Story of the Nigerian Tribune and the presentation of Tribune’s Platinum Awards.
He said, “In Yorubaland, everybody seems to have lost their voice, scared. And people appear not to care about what is happening. If I tell you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep.
“If you want details, I will give it to you privately. We are in a big hole as a nation. And people who put us in this hole have continued today. So, we have to wake up.
“We are the ones who can save ourselves. The fifth columnist activities going on among your people are not helping matters.
“May Almighty God continue to bless this country. But only we can save ourselves from ourselves.”
The elder statesman has been very critical of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Last year, Danjuma, who once served as chief of army staff, accused the army of failing in its responsibility to defend the nation.
