Ooni begs Nigerians: I know what you’re facing, be patient with Tinubu

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has pleaded with Nigerians to persevere with President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the current economic situation.

Ooni made the appeal during the visitation to his family compound as the grand finale of the Olojo Annual Festival at the Oketase area of Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Monday, October 2, 2023.

The monarch stated that Nigeria is currently at its trial period when the citizens are facing a lot of challenges in all ramifications of life.

He said: “I know that people are passing through difficult period in which they are not finding life easy and truly this is a challenging period.

“But I know that after this festival, normalcy will return to the country, as the problems we’re facing will soon come to an end.”

Ooni further enjoined Nigerians to endure more and ensure their support for their leaders, saying by doing this, there would be great achievements.

The traditional ruler added: “We are almost getting there, for gold has to pass through fire before becoming shining. Government alone cannot do it without the cooperation of the masses.

“Therefore, let all hands be on deck for a tree cannot make a forest, neither any nation can get to his promised land without the contribution of the generality.”
