President Buhari warned that the international community was hostile to the change of government by violent and unconstitutional means.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201dIt is utterly na\u00efve to attempt the removal of an elected government by force. Military political adventurers should respect the will of the people and respect constitutional order.<\/p>\n
