The Federal Government has advised those unhappy with President Bola Tinubu’s administration to exercise patience and wait until the 2027 election if they wish to see a change in leadership. This message was conveyed by the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, following the first National Council of State meeting under Tinubu’s leadership.
Alake addressed concerns raised during the meeting, specifically referencing the recent nationwide protests, which he described as an attempt to forcefully change the government. He clarified that any legitimate change in government can only occur through democratic elections and urged critics to use the ballot box in 2027 if they desire a different administration.
Alake further emphasized that security agencies are prepared to protect the country and its democratic processes, reassuring Nigerians that any attempts to destabilize the government through unconstitutional means will be resisted.
