President Bola Tinubu received a vote of confidence from the Council of State, which includes former Presidents, past Heads of State, and former Chief Justices of the Federation.
This meeting marked Tinubu's first time presiding over the council since he assumed office.
The Council of State's endorsement comes at a crucial time, as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the recent #EndBadGovernance protests.
These demonstrations have been described by Dele Alake, the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, as having "sinister motives" with sponsors allegedly aiming for a change in government.
Alake made these remarks while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of the meeting.
Notable attendees at the meeting included former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, who were present in person, while Yakubu Gowon and Abdulsalami Abubakar joined virtually.
However, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo was notably absent, neither attending physically nor joining online.
The Council members collectively condemned the protests, emphasizing the need for stability and unity in governance.
The vote of confidence is seen as a strong message of support for President Tinubu's administration amidst the ongoing political tensions.
