A Call for Peace and Unity

President Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives and destruction of properties resulting from the protests. He highlighted that the damage to public and private assets not only sets the nation back but also diverts scarce resources that could be used for development.

“We must stop further bloodshed, violence, and destruction,” President Tinubu stated, extending his condolences to the families affected by the unrest.

Upholding Public Order

The President made it clear that his administration would not permit a few politically motivated individuals to disrupt the nation under the pretext of protests.

“As President of this country, I must ensure public order. In line with my constitutional oath to protect the lives and property of every citizen, our government will not stand idly by and allow a few with a clear political agenda to tear this nation apart,” he declared.
