The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has called on Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu’s government.
He made this appeal during a visit by the wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, to his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos.
In a statement released on Tuesday by Mrs Tinubu’s spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, Oba Akiolu highlighted Tinubu’s sincere intentions for the nation, emphasizing his grassroots-oriented approach.
“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,” the monarch stated.
The Oba of Lagos also advised Nigerian youths to strengthen their relationship with God, acknowledging their inherent diligence and work ethic.
“Though some youths are incurably lazy and wait to be spoon-fed, teach them not to wait for fish but to learn how to fish themselves,” he remarked.
During the visit, Mrs Tinubu thanked the royal father for his continuous support, prayers, and guidance.
