The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has asked the organisers of the proposed August 1 nationwide protest to rescind their decision, noting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is acutely aware of the current plights of Nigerians and that he is working tirelessly and meticulously to resolve them.

He said what is required is for Nigerians to stand united, embracing a strong sense of patriotism and national pride, with firm support for the president as he leads the nation through this transformative period.

Tunji-Ojo, in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja, noted that the nation’s journey in about 64 years of independence has never been easy, but through collective resilience and patriotism, significant strides could be made

The statement read in part: “Sixty-four years after attaining sovereign status, our beloved nation has consciously strived towards the realisation of a better Nigeria.

“We stand at a pivotal moment in our history, where acknowledging our achievements and recognising the surmountable challenges ahead is essential

It is in this spirit of reflection and resolve that I find solace—and consider it a profound blessing—that we have a president who is bold, audacious, and tenacious enough to face these difficulties

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated unparalleled boldness and tenacity in confronting and addressing the longstanding issues that plague our nation

His unwavering commitment to overcoming these challenges is evident in every action he takes. President Tinubu is acutely aware of the current plights of Nigerians, and he is working tirelessly and meticulously to resolve them

In these times of both challenge and opportunity, it is imperative that we, the people of Nigeria, come together with renewed vigour and unwavering support for President Tinubu’s administration.

“Our nation’s journey has never been easy, but it is through our collective resilience and patriotism that we have made significant strides

He is not just a leader; he is a symbol of our collective aspirations for a prosperous and equitable Nigeria.

“Now, more than ever, we must rally behind President Tinubu’s vision for our country. His administration is dedicated to creating lasting solutions that will uplift every Nigerian, ensuring that our future is one of hope, opportunity, and justice.

“Let us renew our commitment to this noble cause, knowing that together we can overcome any obstacle and achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.

“As we embark on this journey, let us remember that the strength of our nation lies in our unity and our unwavering belief in a brighter future. President Tinubu is leading us with courage and determination, and with our support, there is no challenge we cannot surmount.

“Let us stand together, Nigeria, and renew our pledge to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he works diligently to build a better, stronger, and more prosperous Nigeria for all,” he stated

“We call upon every Nigerian to stand united, embracing a strong sense of patriotism and national pride. Our support and commitment are crucial as President Tinubu leads us through this transformative period
