Shola urged Nigerians to concentrate on those responsible for acts of violence rather than directing blame at the President.
According to him, the focus should be on tackling criminal groups involved in kidnappings, killings, and other forms of insecurity affecting communities across the country.
He maintained that Tinubu inherited significant economic and security problems and has been making efforts to address them through various policy reforms and government initiatives.
The cleric said the administration was working to stabilise an economy he described as weakened before Tinubu assumed office, adding that meaningful reforms often require time before their impact becomes fully evident.
Shola further alleged that some political actors dissatisfied with the present distribution of political power were taking advantage of the security situation to discredit the government.
According to him, certain interests view the current administration as vulnerable and are using insecurity as a tool to generate public frustration and weaken confidence in government.
He claimed that violent activities in some parts of the country were being exploited to create instability and derail ongoing efforts aimed at addressing national challenges.
The religious leader also called on stakeholders in the South-West to remain vigilant and strengthen measures aimed at protecting lives, property, and regional interests.
In addition, he described Yoruba nation advocate Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, as a notable figure in efforts to defend the interests of the Yoruba people.
Reaffirming his confidence in the Tinubu administration, Shola said members of his church remained optimistic that the government would eventually overcome the economic and security difficulties facing the country.
He expressed belief that sustained reforms and collective support would help the administration achieve its objectives and improve conditions for Nigerians.
His remarks come at a time of intense public debate over insecurity, economic policies, and the overall direction of the country, with differing views emerging from political, religious, and civil society groups on how best to address Nigeria’s challenges.
