You May Face Hardships Due to Tinubu’s Economic Policies, But Don’t Panic – Wike Tells Nigerians

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has called on Nigerians to remain patient as the country navigates economic challenges, assuring that President Bola Tinubu’s policies are designed to improve the nation’s future.

Wike made the appeal in Ibadan while paying a condolence visit to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over the passing of his elder brother, Engineer Sunday Makinde. Accompanied by former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom and other dignitaries, Wike emphasized the need for citizens to endure the ongoing difficulties for long-term benefits.

“I have always told people to be patient with this government. This country has faced significant challenges in the past, and we must acknowledge the progress we’ve made. Nigerians often forget where we were and the efforts being made to improve our situation,” he said.

The minister dismissed the notion of instant solutions, stating that the administration’s policies are aimed at securing a better future for all Nigerians. “There is no such thing as a miracle solution. The policies Mr. President is enacting are designed to benefit everyone. Although we may have to endure some hardships now, we should not panic. Mr. President genuinely cares for our country, and I assure you that better days are ahead,” Wike added.

During the visit, he extended his condolences to the Makinde family, stressing the importance of unity and support in times of grief. “In this moment of profound loss, we are here to offer our love and solidarity,” he said.
