Speaking via his deputy, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, Sanwo-Olu insisted that Nigerians need to change their thoughts and speak positively about the country, adding that God would not change anything for any society until the people decide to change what had been in their minds.
He said: “Almighty God will not change anything for any society until they change what is in their mind. So, the question is: what is in our mind about our country?
“So, our collective intent should be to keep praying for our country, keep praying for our leadership to do the right thing for our country and wishing our country well.
“That is when Allah will intervene in the present situation of our country. It is therefore important for us to desist from talking ill about the country.”
