He urged them to steer clear of individuals who incite unrest, noting that the peace enjoyed today is the very basis for the progress being witnessed.
“Fellow citizens, let us not allow ourselves to be influenced into engaging in acts that could jeopardise our stability. Protect your lives, protect your peace, protect your nation. If we destroy this country, we will have no other place to call home,” he said.
