President Bola Tinubu has appealed to protesters not to “shut out” the oxygen of the country’s economy as it is on its way to “recovery.”
While delivering his nationwide broadcast this morning, the President said he understands that the nationwide protests are driven by economic hardship but his government is “committed to listening and addressing” the concerns of all Nigerians.
“My administration is working very hard to improve and expand our national infrastructure and create more opportunities for our young people.
Let nobody misinform and miseducate you about your country or tell you that your government does not care about you. Although there have been many dashed hopes in the past, we are in a new era of Renewed Hope. We are working hard for you, and the results will soon be visible and concrete for everyone to see, feel, and enjoy.
Let us work together to build a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come. Let us choose hope over fear, unity over division, and progress over stagnation. The economy is recovering; Please, don’t shut out its oxygen. Now that we have been enjoying democratic governance for 25 years, do not let the enemies of democracy use you to promote an unconstitutional agenda that will set us back on our democratic journey.” he said”
