Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, issued the appeal on Wednesday during a joint ministerial press briefing with the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, at Radio House in Abuja.
Alake praised the Information Minister for presenting what he termed “instructive statistics and data” that challenge perceptions of government inaction on insecurity. He emphasised that the Tinubu administration relies on “empirical verification, not emotional rhetoric” when addressing security challenges.
Alake also contended that most security incidents in the country stem from economic and political factors rather than religious persecution, cautioning against narratives that misrepresent the motivations behind attacks.
