Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, on Monday, appealed to Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the current economic situation in the country.
The Ooni, while appealing on Monday, during the visitation to his family compound as part of activities to mark the grand finale of the Olojo Annual Festival in the Oketase area, admitted that Nigeria is currently at its trial period when the citizens are facing a lot of challenges in all ramifications of life.
He said, “I know that people are passing through difficult periods in which they are not finding life easy and truly; this is a challenging period.
“But I know that after this festival, normalcy will return to the country, as the problems we’re facing will soon come to an end,” he stated.
The royal father admonished all and sundry to endure more and ensure their support for their leaders, saying by doing this, there would be outstanding achievements.
“We are almost getting there, for gold has to pass through fire before becoming shining. Government alone cannot do it without the cooperation of the masses.
“Therefore, let all hands be on deck for a tree cannot make a forest, neither any nation can get to his promised land without the contribution of the generality”, Oba Ogunwusi stated.
