Tinubu's broadcast fails to address youths' demands

According to Muhammed, the President's recent broadcast failed to address the youths' grievances, fueling their continued protests over hunger and hardship.

Mohammed criticized President Tinubu for not consulting state governors before his nationwide broadcast, saying it showed a lack of respect for their opinions.

The Governor emphasized that the nation's problems cannot be blamed solely on the youths but also leaders at all levels, from the presidency to local government.

He highlighted the issues of unemployment, a failing educational system, and hunger, particularly in the North, as wake-up calls for good governance.
