The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He made the appeal when First Lady Oluremi Tinubu paid him a visit at his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos recently, noting that the President means well for the nation as he is 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”, he said.
The monarch also restated his appeal for a special status for Lagos State as the former Federal Capital of Nigeria.
He further admonished the youth to be closer to God, declaring that “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.
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”, she said.
Mrs. Tinubu said that the request by Oba Akiolu for a special status for Lagos state will get the attention of the National Assembly through the Lagos representatives
