The Government of the Russian Federation as well as any Russian officials are not involved in these activities and do not co-ordinate them in any way.

“The Russian Government wishes to reiterate its longstanding principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations, including Nigeria. The decision by some protesters to wave Russian flags is a personal choice and does not represent an official stance or policy of the Russian Government on the matter. We emphasize that our government does not endorse or support any actions that could be perceived as meddling in Nigeria’s domestic issues.”

We respect Nigerian democracy and believe that peaceful demonstrations in conformity with the Nigerian law are a manifestation of democracy. However, should these events lead to any disruptions or acts of violence we strictly condemn them
