'The demand for Tinubu to resign is to distract the public'
The Minister of Information and Publicity in Nigeria, Mohammed Idris, has dismissed calls for President Bola Tinubu to resign, saying it is an attempt to divert people's attention.
Last week, some governors from the PDP, the main opposition party in Nigeria demanded that President Tinubu resign if he cannot solve the economic challenges the country is facing.
On Sunday, Idris said that President Tinubu will not resign and that he has the skills to deal with the economic crisis.
In a statement, the minister said that the economic problems that Nigeria is facing are not stronger than President Tinubu and he will not leave his position.
"He will continue to persevere in fighting the problems until they are overcome, laying the bricks of the new Nigeria that is emerging."
Nigeria is facing its worst economic crisis in years, where the value of the country's currency is falling and many people are struggling to make ends meet.
