The Asiwaju of Yoruba in Kano State, Hon. Leke Abejide, has appealed to Nigerians to exercise patience with the Tinubu administration for at least two years to allow policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu to manifest.
Abejide who represents Yagba Constituency of Kogi State at the House of Representatives, and also the chairman of Customs and Excise Committee at the House of Representatives also said the need to counter insecurity in the country is one of the reasons the borders still remain closed, especially with the military coups in neighbouring countries.
“I have the confidence that the Tinubu administration will make the economy better for the country. I have said it before; it’s like 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.
“In fact, 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.
Hon Leke was received in Kano by the Yoruba community at a grand event to celebrate his victory as a second timer in the House of Representatives.
He promised the about 4.5 million Yorubas in Kano that he would complete the building of the palace 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 Yorubas resident in Kano through the empowerment of widows and orphans, describing it as one of the reasons they conferred on him 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 State government would continue to run an all-inclusive government to deliver dividends of democracy.
