He  pleaded  with Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration.

According to him:  “Recognising the potential risks and consequences of such protests, we urge our followers to prioritise peace and unity above all else. Instead, we advocate for peaceful dialogue and constructive engagement with government officials to address pressing concerns.

“By speaking with one voice, we aim to promote national cohesion, stability, and progress. We believe that through collective effort and peaceful means, we can build a brighter future for our nation.”
