Mr Adejobi said, “Let me say it again that the new slogan for 2024, ‘No gree for anybody,’ we have been informed by intelligence that this slogan is coming from a revolutionary sector that may likely cause problems across the country.

 

“‘No gree for anybody’ is being seen as a normal talk but in the security community we have seen it as a very dangerous slogan that can trigger crisis.”
