A prominent businessman and philanthropist, Prince Olatunji Olusoji, has urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Bola Tinubu, saying that the various reforms are aimed at repositioning the country for prosperity and progress.
Asiwaju Prince Olusoji made the appeal yesterday while fielding questions from journalists in Kabba, Kogi State, about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent policies, including the Naira’s floating and fuel subsidies’ removal.
According to Prince Olatunji, these reforms are necessary to stop corruption and promote economic growth. “We, Nigerians, will not get the benefits today, but I can assure you, tomorrow, our children will be happy, our generation will be happy that the president took these bold steps,” he said.
Prince Olatunji also praised the current Governor of Kogi State, describing him as a humble man with a cordial relationship with his predecessor.
He advised the governor to continue to work for the best interests of the people of Kogi State.
On his philanthropic efforts, Prince Olatunji said his entire life is a testimony of God’s blessings, adding that he wants to leave a legacy of service behind. “I want to leave a legacy whereby my name will open doors for my children and my great-grandchildren,” he said.
He emphasized that his focus is on impacting the lives of people, rather than accumulating wealth.
When asked about politics, Prince Olatunji an indigene of Kogi State, said he is a politician and has held several political offices in Delta State, where his mother hails from.
He expressed willingness to serve his people if called upon, saying “politics is about service, service to your people, service to humanity.”
Prince Olatunji graduated from the University of Benin with a degree in mechanical engineering and holds several other degrees from other universities, including Oxford, Harvard, and the London School of Politics.
