Zimbabwe Military Takeover : Buhari Calls for Calm, Respect For Constitution

President Muhammadu Buhari has called for Calm, peace and respect for constitution in Zimbabwe.

The President in a statement by his spokesperson Femi Adesina urged all political and military stakeholders in the country to avoid any action that may plunge the country into unnecessary conflicts and impact the region negatively.

He said every attempt must be made to resolve all contentious issues by constitutional means in Zimbabwe to save the country from avoidable political instability.

The appeal by the president came in the wake of a reported military take over as a result of rising political tension in the Southern African country sequel to President Robert Mugabe’s recent removal of former Vice-President Emmerson Manga Gwagwalada.
