Former Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu in tackling insecurity across the country. He made the remarks while delivering the 15th convocation lecture at Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State, on Friday.
Mohammed stressed that security is a shared responsibility, urging citizens to contribute actionable intelligence and back government efforts. “Many people who are not in the kitchen, don’t know the fire coming out of it. There is no President that wants his own country insecured. The government is doing a lot and we must all encourage the government,” he said.
He reiterated his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Tinubu administration, noting that while he had served prominently in the past, he would now work behind the scenes. “I am a very loyal member of APC and I am 100 per cent behind this administration… Whatever I need to do now, I will pass through the back channel but I’m 100 per cent behind the administration,” Mohammed said.
Addressing the graduating students, he encouraged them to confront challenges boldly and pursue innovation in their careers. “Don’t just graduate; innovate,” he advised, highlighting the importance of resilience and proactive engagement in national development.
