The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said President Bola Tinubu will not resign as he is taking steps to bring relief to Nigerians amidst the current economic hardship.

In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Rabiu Ibrahim, Idris was reacting to the call by the People’s Democratic Party governors for President Tinubu to resign if he cannot solve Nigeria’s economic problems.

The statement said the PDP and its governors should not be seeking, through the back door of intimidation, what they have consistently failed to achieve by democratic means since 2015.

It said those who could not bring about transformational change when they had a lengthy chance should not seek to interrupt or distract those busy at work on the presidential vision that Nigerians elected them to implement.

The statement further noted that Nigerians have not forgotten that the APC administration cleared several liabilities left behind by the PDP government, such as subsidy claims by oil marketers, Paris Club refunds, and so on.

It added that President Tinubu is not and will never be overwhelmed by the current challenges the country is facing. He will not abdicate his responsibilities but will courageously continue to wrestle with the challenges and surmount them, laying a durable foundation for the emerging Nigeria.
