| Nigeria's Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has dismissed calls for the resignation of President Bola Tinubu as "an attempt at distraction". | |
| Some governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria's largest opposition party, last week urged President Tinubu to resign if he could not tackle the country's economic challenges. | |
| On Sunday, Mr Idris said that President Tinubu would not resign and was capable of addressing the economic difficulties plaguing the nation. | |
| “President Tinubu is not and will never be overwhelmed by the current challenges the country is facing. He will not abdicate his responsibilities," Mr Idris said in a statement. | |
| "He will courageously continue to wrestle with the challenges and surmount them, laying a durable foundation for the new Nigeria that is emerging," Mr Idris added. | |
| The West African country is currently experiencing its worst economic crisis in years, with the value of the local currency plunging to a record low and many residents struggling to afford basic necessities. | |
