Special Assistant to the President on Media, Office of the Minister of Information and Culture, Segun Adeyemi, in a statement issued in Abuja, said Mohammed called on Nigerians not to succumb to the apocalyptic or doomsday predictions about the country, saying such predictions won’t come to pass.
Mohammed appealed to leaders at all levels to give the people a message of hope instead of making comments that can only aggravate tension.
Mohammed further emphasidsed on the critical role of traditional rulers in the maintenance of peace and security, insisting that they cannot and must not be ignored as the nation seeks to restore peace and security across the country.
The minister appealed to Oba Ajakaiye to work with his fellow traditional rulers, as well as the Government of Ekiti State, to ensure peace and security in the state.
