Nigerians have been called upon to be patient and allow the policies introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to manifest for the benefit of Nigerians.

 

The call was made in Kano North West Nigeria by the Asiwaju of Yoruba Kano, Mr. Leke Abejide who represents Yagba Constituency of Kogi state at the House of Representatives.

 

Mr. Leke who is also the Chairman of the Customs and Excise Committee at the House of Representatives also said, that the need to counter possible encroachment of insecurity into the country was one of the reasons why the borders remain closed, especially with the military coups in the neighboring countries.

 

He said I have the confidence that Tinubu’s administration will make the economy better for the country. I have said it before, when a woman is in labour there is a lot of pain pending when she delivers. 

 

“If you are looking at the policies they are making, you will know that we should give at least two years, I know it is a long time for people who are in hardship, but in less than two years you will see the impact, the economy is going to be transformed. I have that belief.” Mr. Leke added.

 

He described President Tinubu as a technocrat who will transform Nigeria for the better.

 

“The person you are talking about is an expert in the financial sector and has a lot of experience. He knows what he is doing and what the result will be. My advice to the people is that we remain patient and the result will be good for all of us,” he said.

 

Mr. Leke was received in Kano by the Yoruba Community at an event to celebrate his victory as a second-timer in the House of Representatives.

 

He promised the Yoruba community in Kano that he would complete the building of the place of Oba Yoruba Kano before the end of this tenure being a part of the community.

 

The Oba Yoruba of Kano Alhaji Alimi Murtala Otisese, thanked the celebrant for his immense contributions to the Yorubas residents in Kano through the empowerment of widows and orphans, describing it as one of the reasons they have conferred him with the title of Asiwaju of Yoruba Kano.

 

Speaking on behalf of the Kano state Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Special Adviser on Yoruba Affairs, Alhaji Abdussalam Abdullatif said, the Kano government will continue to run an all-inclusive government to deliver the dividend of democracy.
