“They will come to you, they want you to protest, ask those who want you to protest where are their children. Why must you be the one to protest and to protest against what?
“This government is our government, the government of President Bola Tinubu is our government. So nobody from Southeast will protest. We are not aggrieved, we have hope”
“Whatever they say, this government is barely one year in office. Yes we are aware of the hardship, we are aware things are hard, but I promise you that the presidenti is working so hard to release money to the people, to deliver infrastructure to the people and to release and increase food security to the people. Follow your leaders, work with your leaders.”
Also speaking, the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, urged Nigerians to support the president in his bid to beter the living standards of the people.
“I call on every Nigerian to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice President Kashim Shettima and the Federal Government for their efforts, programmes and actions geared towards ensuring better standards of living for Nigerians.
“I believe and I am confident that very soon, Nigerians would have reasons to be smiling and acknowledging the prudence and effective results of their support for the APC”, Ganduje said.
