According to him, the expectations of the citizens in this season are always very high, leading some people to perpetrate various crimes to meet up.

“Given the moral rebranding we are advocating for, we will not give up because Nigeria belongs to us.

“We will continue to strife, endure and restore the dignity of Nigeria,” he said.

He noted that the criminal vices and other violence in the country were being carried out by youths between the ages of 18 and 35.
