The President is facing serious tasks to keep the economy healthy, defeat the evil of insurgency, and fix critical infrastructures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He criticised those he referred to as political opportunists for making unnecessary noise that could hinder the government\u2019s developmental agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is becoming nauseating, to say the least. The 2027 election is still over a year and a half away, and yet those chasing positions won\u2019t allow the President to work,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Oyintiloye stressed that the current administration was only two years into its term and urged political actors to exercise restraint and patience.<\/p>\n<p>Insisting that the focus should remain on governance rather than political scheming, he said, \u201cThere are many pressing national matters that the President is attending to at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the President needs at this point in time is our collective support, prayers, solidarity, and not unnecessary clamour for power struggle ahead of 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
