The Presidency has urged Nigerians to ignore political distractions affirming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains focused on his mandate to improve the lives of Nigerians and build a resilient economy, despite recent distractions.
Reacting to recent comments on the President and his administration by some opposition leaders, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, in a post on his verified X handle, @SundayDareSD, tasked Nigerians to scrutinise the antecedents of these politicians.
Mr Dare also condemned recent comments by some of the political opponents of President Tinubu’s administration, describing them as “distractive” and “Machiavellian”.
Dare described the latest remarks from some of President Tinubu’s political opponents as predictable attempts to stir controversy while the President was away in Tanzania addressing Nigeria’s energy challenges.
“While the President was seeking solutions to Nigeria’s energy problems in Dar es Salaam, some ‘wannabes’ were heating up the polity,” Dare stated.
He characterised a recent political gathering as an effort to spread ill-will, adding that a few participants resorted to undemocratic rhetoric.
“Expectedly, it was a gathering convened to further spread ill-will. Nothing new came out of the gathering different from the opposition script we are used to,” Dare stated.
He urged Nigerians to scrutinise the antecedents of these “political gladiators” and choose between “political hecklers and real progressives.”
“The only conversation he wants to have now is how to improve the lives of Nigerian citizens and constructive discourse on building a resilient economy,” he said.
The Special Adviser also dismissed the opposition’s actions as premature, noting that the next general election is not until 2027.
“This is 2025. Not 2027. Let those who want to test their popularity with Nigerians wait for the next election,” Dare declared.
He assured Nigerians that President Tinubu, an “avowed democrat,” remains “undistracted and unperturbed” by the opposition’s tactics.
