A chieftain of the All-Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has urged Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu a little time to address the economic challenges in the country.
Oyintiloye said that with a little patience, all the challenges Nigerians were passing through would be a thing of the past
He said this while speaking with journalists on Sunday in Osogbo.
Oyintiloye, who acknowledged the fact that Nigerians are going through a tough time, claimed the president is not also sleeping but working day and night to fix the economy.
The APC Chieftain also appealed to Nigerians to remember that the economic crisis in the country was not created by the president.
He, however, said that all the economic policies that the president was putting in place might look tough but are there to place the country on the path of economic prosperity.
Oyintiloye said Tinubu assumed office when the economy was nosediving, which required systemic reforms and understanding of Nigerians.
He said while the president was gradually fixing the economy, he needed the patience, prayers, and support of all Nigerians to get things done.
Oyintiloye, who noted that the president’s economic policies had started to show results, said that though they were minimal, the future might be less challenging
He said that with the president’s focus on economic reforms and diversification, he was championing policies aimed at revitalising other sectors of the economy, particularly agriculture, manufacturing, technology, marine, and blue economy.
“Several initiatives are being implemented to improve the business environment, attract foreign direct investment, and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“With a little patience, things will be well again, and Nigeria will rise again,” he said.
