A member representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State in the National Assembly, Leke Abejide, has called on Nigerians irrespective of political and religious inclination, to bear with the administration of President Bola Tinubu for at least two years to enable its policies to manifest and benefit from their good results.
Abejide made the call on Saturday during a grand reception
organised in his honour by the Yoruba community in Kano State.
The event also featured his conferment of the title of
Asiwaju of Yoruba Kano by His Royal Highness, the Oba Yoruba of Kano, Dr.
Murtala Otisese.
”I have the confidence that the Tinubu administration will
make the economy better for the country. I have said it before, it is like when
a woman is in labour there is a lot of pain pending when she delivers.
“If You are looking at the policies the government is
making, you will know that we should give at least two years, I know it is a
long time for people who are in hardships, but in less than two years you will
see the impact, the economy is going to be transformed. I have that belief,” he
said.
Abejide who is also the Chairman of the Customs and Excise
Committee of the House of Representatives, said, “My advice to the people is
that we remain patient and the result will be good for all of us.”
The Asiwaju Yoruba Kano then promised the 4.5 million
Yorubas in Kano that he would complete the building of the palace of Oba Yoruba
of Kano.
In his remarks, the Oba Yoruba of Kano, Dr. Alimi Otisese,
while conferring the title on Elder Abejide, lauded the celebrant for his
immense contributions to the Yorubas resident in Kano through the empowerment
of widows and orphans, which he said were part of the reasons he conferred on
him the title of Asiwaju of Yoruba Kano.
Speaking on behalf of the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf,
his Special Adviser on Yoruba Affairs, Alhaji Abdussalam Abdullatif, said the
present administration in the state would continue to run an all-inclusive
government in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
Abejide grew up in Kano before he went to his native Kogi
State and contested and won elections into the House of Representatives on the
platform of the African Democratic Congress in 2019 and 2023.
