Ekiti Governor Abiodun Oyebanji has urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Bola Tinubu over the difficulties they are experiencing with respect to fuel subsidy removal.
Oyebanji made this plea while answering questions from reporters after his visit to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio at the National Assembly in Abuja.
Oyebanji insisted that Nigerians would soon get the benefit of their sacrifices.
He said: “Nigerians should be patient with President Bola Tinubu, you cannot eat an omelette without breaking an egg, there is no microwave solution to our problem, you must confront these challenges headon.
“You must thank the President for having the courage for taking the bull by the horn. If we are going to get out of this wood we must take very hard decisions.
“I just plead with Nigerians to be patient, very soon they will know that the President meant well.”
He thanked the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Tinubu and the entire Senate for the choice of Senator Opeyemi Bamidele as the senate Majority Leader.
“He is the best choice anybody can make. Bamidele is a worthy representative from Ekiti State, we are proud of him, he is my brother.
“He is my collaborator and he has the capacity and the ability to assist the leadership of the Senate to ensure a smooth implementation of the President’s agenda at the senate.
“In Ekiti State, he has contributed immensely to political developments in the State. You can see us together today, we just met with all the members of the National Assembly from Ekiti, both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives on the need to align our priorities in the interest of our people.”
