These admonitions among others were contained in a statement issued by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, in reaction to the recent comments made by the first-class monarch on the economic situation of the country.

They are my friends, but if they don’t behave like friends, I won’t behave like a friend.
