Lokpobiri said that although he  understands the frustrations and challenges faced by many Nigerians, but he maintained that it is essential to approach these issues constructively.

In a statement on Tuesday by Nneamaka Okafor, special Adviser, Media and Communication to the Minister, it said that "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is dedicated to revitalizing  the  economy and bringing renewed hope through well-thought-out policies and programs.

He emphasized the importance of unity and patience  in the country as the government he stated  works to address the nation's diverse issues.

Acknowledging the role of protests in a democracy, the Minister warned against those who might exploit these events for malicious purposes.

He called for constructive engagement and dialogue over any action that could unsettle the nation.

 The statement reads:""Now more than ever, we need to stand together and support the initiatives being put in place. Our collective efforts will pave the way for a more prosperous Nigeria."

 "Certain groups want to use this protest to incite violence and crime. We must not let non-state actors disrupt our peace and stability."

 "While protesting is your democratic right, consider the broader implications on our national stability and progress. Dialogue and collaboration are far more effective solutions"

 "President Tinubu is a true democrat who listens to the people. He is already implementing measures to address our nation's challenges."
