He urged Nigerians to support security agencies, even when there is a need for critical engagement. Addressing Nigerian youths directly, Comrade Adodo urged them to act as a common fortress for the country against internal and external attacks. His words: “The displaced powerful politicians are bent on dividing the country by sponsoring fake security reports, divisive narratives, fake news and hate speech. The Nigerian youths must be vigilant about this and refuse to yield to their antics. “That we support President Muhammadu Buhari, not because we are stooges to his government, or that his government is faultless. But because we discovered that his government is more concerned about the next generation. “Mr President’s total war against corruption has unsettled some political criminals and they are fighting to blackmail the president and ridicule his government. Nigerian youths are duty-bound to stand with a president who is recovering our looted future.
