…..urges Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu
The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has appealed for a special status for Lagos State as the former Federal Capital Territory.
Oba Akiolu also appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Lagos monarch made the appeal when Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu paid him a visit at his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos.
He noted that Tinubu meant well for the nation , describing him as a man who is grassroots focused.
“ All that I am saying and appealing is that we should pray for Nigeria and the president. We should be patient. Everything good needs prayers”, said the Lagos Monarch.
Oba of Lagos also admonished the youths to be closer to God, noting that they are majorly good and hardworking.
“ Though some youth are incurably lazy and are always waiting to be spoon-feed, teach them not to always wait for fish but learn how to fish themselves “.
Meanwhile, the First Lady, who was at the palace in the company of wives of some of the South West Governors, wives of National Assembly members, wives of some ministers and wives of service chiefs, thanked the royal father for his continued support, prayers and admonitions.
“I assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do well for this country. He loves Nigeria, he loves Nigerians and will do the best for them”, said Oluremi Tinubu.
She said that the request by the monarch for a special status for Lagos state would get the attention of the National Assembly through the Lagos representatives.
