Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, on Tuesday felicitate with Nigerians on the occasion of the Eid-El-Adha festival while urging them to be patient with the new administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Akpabio also appealed for calm from the citizenry, saying some of Tinubu’s policies, as he tackles the country’s endemic challenges, “will cause inconveniences”.
Akpabio said, “As we join our Muslim brethren to observe this day, the essence of the season which underscores our submission to the will of the Almighty God and the importance of sacrifice in our daily life, should not be lost on us.”
“I salute the resilience and patriotism of Nigerians in the face of the current challenges facing our nation. We should all see it as part of the process of nation building.
“In just a few weeks since his inauguration, President Tinubu has taken some bold steps which have been globally acclaimed as being in the right direction.
“Even though the measures bring with them some inconveniences, I earnestly appeal to fellow Nigerians to look at the larger picture of the expected outcomes, be patient with the new government and give it their full support to take Nigeria out of the woods.
“The 10th national assembly will do its utmost to provide President Tinubu-led government complementary support through necessary legislative interventions for the benefit of Nigerians.”
