Will UN seize power from Tinubu if protests last beyond 15 days in Nigeria.
A viral WhatsApp message claims that the United Nations will take over from Nigeria’s President if anti-government protests continue for more than 15 days.
While Nigeria has seen international involvement during crises like the Biafran War and #EndSARS, the UN does not take over governments of sovereign nations. Article 2(7) of the UN Charter prohibits such intervention unless mandated by the Security Council to restore international peace.
No official UN sources or credible media have reported this claim.
CONCLUSION The claim that the UN will seize power from Tinubu after 15 days of protests is FALSE.
