President Bola Tinubu said on Thursday that sponsors of the planned nationwide protest against bad governance do not love the country.
The president, according to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, stated this when a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau visited him at the State House, Abuja.
A group of Nigerians had planned a nationwide protest tagged: “EndBadGovernance” from August 1 to drive home their grievances over alleged corruption, insecurity, and other problems in the country.
Tinubu told his guests that the people behind the protests have alternative passports and hold meetings virtually across the world.
He also dismissed claims of manipulation by any interest group in the ongoing economic reforms initiated by his administration.

President Tinubu said: “The sponsors of protests do not love our country. They have no love for the nation. They do not understand citizenship. They have alternative passports.
“They are in different parts of the world holding meetings virtually. We do not want to turn Nigeria into Sudan. We are talking about hunger, not burials. We have to be careful. We should be careful with premature politics; politics of hate, and anger.
“The internet has made it possible to hold meetings in artificial settings. They hold meetings and sponsor anger.
“I have no cabal. I have no sponsors. The money I spent on the elections was my personal fortune. At some point, the odds were against me; banks were locked. But Allah, the Almighty God, said I will be the President. Mine is to now follow the leading and teaching of the Almighty God.
“One of the most potent elements of defence is a good conscience. It is also a defence against corruption.”
