Dada Olusegun, Media Aide to President Tinubu, warns against protests and threats to national stability, leading to varied reactions on social media. Critics argue that addressing economic challenges should be the priority.
Dada Olusegun, Media Aide to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has issued a stark warning to those intending to protest or destabilize Nigeria. In a statement, Olusegun emphasized that any attempts to "burn the country down" would meet with the strongest resistance from the silent majority who supported President Tinubu in the recent elections. He highlighted that this resistance will not come from security agencies alone but from the broader public who has given their mandate to Tinubu for his four-year term.
This warning has sparked considerable debate on social media. Many users have expressed their frustration with Olusegun’s statement, arguing that the focus should be on addressing Nigeria’s pressing economic issues rather than threatening dissenters. Critics suggest that the government should prioritize resolving the significant economic challenges faced by millions of Nigerians instead of issuing threats. They argue that such rhetoric only exacerbates the current discontent among the populace.
Supporters of Olusegun’s statement believe that the warning is necessary to maintain order and discourage any attempts to incite violence. They argue that the "silent majority" will defend the country’s stability and support the administration’s efforts to address various national issues.
