‘Doomsday predictions about Nigeria won’t come to pass’, says Minister
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has disclosed that doomsday predictions about Nigeria will not come to pass.
Mohammed also declared that Nigeria is in safe hands in spite of the security difficulties it is facing.
He stated this on Thursday at his office in Abuja when he played host to the Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti, Oba Adeola Adeniyi Ajakaiye, and his retinue.
The Minister also appealed to Nigerians not to surrender to doomsday predictions about Nigeria because they will not come to pass.
“Talking about security, I want to use this opportunity to assure all Nigerians that despite the security challenges we are facing now, Nigeria is in safe hands. We must never succumb to the apocalyptic or doomsday predictions about our country because they won’t come to pass.
“It is also important for our leaders at all levels to give the people message of hope instead of making comments that can only aggravate tension,” the Minister was quoted in a statement on the ministry’s website.
Mohammed also urged leaders to give messages of hope as opposed to making comments to increase agitation.
