“We should not give those people relevance. They are achieving their aims just to seek attention. We are having challenges here and there in the country; this administration is really trying her best.

“President Bola Tinubu is doing very well. He is doing exceptionally well, by trying to fix the economy, we should give him the benefit of doubt and also to engage people. Very important that we should be engaging people to talk to others about the success recorded by the government in power."
