He encouraged religious leaders to pray for the country and focus on educating the youth, emphasizing their responsibility in nurturing patriotism.
Using a Yoruba proverb, Tinubu underscored the need for loyalty to one's country, even in difficult times. He urged religious leaders to refrain from cursing or condemning Nigeria, emphasizing that leadership transitions should occur through democratic processes rather than through condemnation.
