Senate President Godswill Akpabio says Nigerians should be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s new administration.
In his Eid al-Adha speech on Tuesday, Akpabio urged citizens to remain calm since some of Tinubu’s measures, as he addresses the country’s endemic difficulties, “will cause inconveniences.”
Tinubu announced the end of the petrol subsidy when he took office in May. Nigerians are now paying extra for the commodity.
The unification of the exchange rate and a free float of the naira have also contributed to spiralling inflation in a nation that is import-dependent.
“As we join our Muslim brethren to observe this day, the essence of the season which underscores our submission to the will of the Almighty God and the importance of sacrifice in our daily life, should not be lost on us,” Akpabio said.
“I salute the resilience and patriotism of Nigerians in the face of the current challenges facing our nation. We should all see it as part of the process of nation building.
“In just a few weeks since his inauguration, President Tinubu has taken some bold steps which have been globally acclaimed as being in the right direction.
“Even though the measures bring with them some inconveniences, I earnestly appeal to fellow Nigerians to look at the larger picture of the expected outcomes, be patient with the new government and give it their full support to take Nigeria out of the woods.
“The 10th national assembly will do its utmost to provide President Tinubu-led government complementary support through necessary legislative interventions for the benefit of Nigerians.”
