Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) has called for the expulsion of the Amnesty International (AI) for backing dissidents to foment trouble in the country.
The coalition commended brave Nigerians who stood up to defend their motherland. It said human rights body had failed.
At a conference on in Abuja, CNM Secretary-General, Dr. Maxwell Obioma said Nigerians were resolute in protecting the country, adding they would truncate the activities of AI to destabilise Nigeria.
He explained that Nigerians are aware of AI’s plot in conjunction with some foreign interests to truncate the nation’s democracy.
According to him, the despicable plot that has bought some non-government organisations and legal practitioners to its fold.
He said: “As a people, we are aware of the plot by Amnesty International in conjunction with some foreign interest that has been plotting for the disintegration of Nigeria manifest in their disjointed and often fabricated reports about Nigeria.
“This much they have carried on unabated and most recently the unholy alliance they entered with the Iranian Government to cause havoc and crisis of unimaginable proportion in Nigeria through the sponsorship of militant groups under various nomenclatures.
“The activities of Amnesty International has been despicable and an affront to the territorial integrity of Nigeria. This act is indeed condemnable and an indication that indeed the bulk of the spate of insecurity in Nigeria is as a result of the evil machinations of foreign interest that are not happy with the gains made by in Nigeria since the advent of the present administration.
“The despicable part of the plot is that due to the quantum of money made available by Iran, some Nigerian lawyers and Non-Governmental Organizations have decided to sell their conscience in return for a plate of porridge by attempting to defend and support the activities of Amnesty International in Nigeria. This is indeed an indication that Amnesty International and its Iranian sponsors have indeed infiltrated the polity with blood-stained monies that are proceeds of terrorism.
“These lawyers and NGOs have decided to feign ignorance of the numerous ways Amnesty International has attempted to compromise the territorial integrity of Nigeria since they started defending the actions of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).
He said the conduct of AI was likely to threaten the foundation of the country if not curtailed.
“Our very foundation has been threatened by the violent and terrorist activities of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. They have maimed and killed innocent Nigerians for no justifiable reason. They have attempted to assassinate the Chief of Army Staff, they have killed a senior police officer, and they have killed and abducted innocent women and children in furtherance of their plan to establish Iranian backed caliphates in Nigeria. “
