Public reaction to the alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu’s government has continued to reveal worrying levels of cynicism online. After the Nigerian Military confirmed that officers across multiple ranks were involved in planning to overthrow the government, many Nigerians called for accountability and respect for democratic order.
However, some comments openly endorsed instability. One chilling reaction read: “It’ll delay but it will surely happen!”
The statement suggests hope for a future successful coup, treating a grave national security threat as inevitable or even desirable. Critics condemned the comment for normalizing treason and ignoring the devastating consequences of coups—loss of lives, economic collapse, and erosion of civil freedoms.
Observers noted that while frustration with governance is widespread, expressing faith in unconstitutional takeovers reflects deep democratic fatigue and a dangerous acceptance of chaos over reform.
