“Before you say a government has not done well, you have to allow them to spend at least three years in office,” she said.

The president's daughter called on parents to warn their children against joining the planned hunger protest scheduled for August 1, noting, that victims of EndSARS protest are still yet to recover from the losses they incurred almost four years after.

Folashade Tinubu said:

“We should tell ourselves, our children at home and our family members that there is nothing like protest in Lagos state. It is not good. Recall the one they did before where they destroyed so many of our public assets. Do not allow your children be used to by some people who give them money to go and start fighting and destroying things.”
