Be Patient, Tinubu Will Deliver As Promised-Information Minister

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu as he will deliver as promised.

Idris, who represented the president at the PUNCH Nigeria Limited 50th Anniversary Public Lecture in Lagos on Thursday, urged Nigerians to give Tinubu more time to fix Nigeria

Idris noted that the government understands the pains and sufferings of the Nigerian people, adding that Tinubu is working to ensure that Nigerian citizens have a better life.

“We know that there is still insecurity, but it is not as much as what we used to have, and we are working to ensure that this is resolved. We know the situation of the economy and how it has affected Nigerians and the administration of President Bola Tinubu is working to ensure that Nigerian citizens have a better life and we ask for Nigerians to be more patient with him.

“I’d love to borrow the words of Professor Soyinka when he visited the President that he doesn’t like to judge anyone until after a year of the administration. I’d also like to request that Nigerians, please, give us time,” he pleaded.

The minister noted that Tinubu has taken steps like subsidy removal and Oronsaye report implementation among others to ensure Nigerians reap the dividends of democracy.

“Tinubu took bold steps for the benefit of all. He didn’t pretend that it would be fine. The government took bold steps to turn the economy around for the benefit of all.

“Nigeria is facing challenging times. This is not new and not peculiar to this country. The Tinubu administration has taken bold steps since its inception,” he said.
