President Bola Tinubu has expressed his views on the upcoming nationwide protests, asserting that those behind the demonstrations lack genuine love for the country.
The President made these remarks on Thursday at the Presidential Villa while hosting a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau.
Although he did not name any specific sponsors, Tinubu suggested that the organizers of the protests possess alternative passports and conduct their meetings virtually from various global locations.
Tinubu was quoted as saying in a statement by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale;
“The sponsors of protests do not love our country. They have no love for the nation. They do not understand citizenship. They have alternative passports,”
“They are in different parts of the world holding meetings virtually. We do not want to turn Nigeria into Sudan. We are talking about hunger, not burials. We have to be careful. We should be careful with premature politics; politics of hate, and anger.
“The internet has made it possible to hold meetings in artificial settings. They hold meetings and sponsor anger,” the President told the religious leaders.
President Tinubu argued that protests driven by anger and hate could escalate into violence and hinder the country’s progress.
Nigeria needs peace, not a crisis that could lead to war. Sometimes, it is better to jaw-jaw, than to war-war.
WAR NO GOOD OOH!!!
