Military Coup: Some People Think Tinubu Is Joking – Igbokwe

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has reacted to the failed coup attempt by some men of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Recall that the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) released the full list of 16 officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces indicted by a Special Investigative Panel for allegedly plotting a coup against President Bola Tinubu.

The panel had indicted the 16 soldiers of serious misconduct, including an alleged plot to overthrow Tinubu’s government.

Speaking on the development, Igbokwe stated that Tinubu is not joking with his government.

Igbokwe wrote on Facebook, “I hear that this is the face of the man who led the coup against PBAT. He will collect well well. Some people think PBAT is joking. No sir.

“He is here to rework, retool, rejig, reposition, refix, rewind and reinstall Nigeria.

“What you sow you reap. So some people think PBAT na their mate abi? May thunder fire the devil a trillion times.”

Meanwhile, Igbokwe has claimed that some individuals are taking advantage of the detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Speaking via a Facebook post, he alleged that some individuals are using Kanu’s detention to extort money from people.

Recall that Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was on November 20, 2025, sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federal High Court in Abuja after being convicted on all seven counts of terrorism filed against him.

The Biafran freedom fighter was subsequently sent to Sokoto prison, where he is expected to serve his jail term.

There has been widespread agitation, especially from the South East, for the release of the secessionist.

Sharing his thoughts, Igbokwe alleged that IPOB members and some lawyers are “cashing out” from Kanu’s detention.

“I have noticed that some unrepentant scammers in Igboland, IPOB fraudsters and some charge and bail lawyers are using the detention of Nnamdi Kanu to cash out.

“It has become a business. Even content creators are not left out”, the APC chieftain wrote.
