“We put you there to secure the nation; we didn’t put you there to be complaining about bad leaders.

He argued that Nigerians knew that the past leaders were there before electing him to fix things up.

In another development, Legit.ng had reported that Ayokunle opined that the federal government has run out of workable ideas on how to end insecurity in the country.

Ayokunle stated that what the government can give Nigerians, for now, are mere assurance and promise.

Ayokunle made this comment on Sunday, March 28, during a thanksgiving service (monitored by Punch) in honour of Bishop Wale Oke, the newly elected president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

Meanwhile, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and a prominent religious leader in the north, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, have released a joint statement after their closed-door meeting on Sunday, April 4, in Abeokuta.
