In the face of rising living expenses, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has called on Nigerians to offer prayers for Chief Bola Tinubu, recognizing the difficulties he faces.
Wike reassured the populace that the current economic strain is transient and will be resolved as Tinubu’s administration actively works to address the challenges.
Addressing the audience in Abuja during the commencement of the Kwa Kwa to Karimo road project, Wike appealed to Nigerians to exercise patience and support Tinubu and his government.
According to the minister, the president means well for Nigerians.
Wike said: “Mr President has asked us to tell you that we are not doing you a favour with what we are doing; you are entitled to it. It’s our responsibility to do it, we are not doing anything extraordinary.
“Remember, Mr. President was campaigning on the mandate of renewed hope, and that is why I thank all the council chairmen who have agreed to work together despite belonging to different political parties. If we don’t work together, the people will suffer, and we will not allow that.

“Things may not be as we want now, but let me assure you that all you’re seeing today is a temporary thing. I can assure you that the problems we are facing will be a thing of the past soon. We beg for your patience because when things have been bad it takes time to heal, the government will bring policies that will make you recover, but it may be affecting you.
“Pray for President Tinubu to have the wisdom and good health to pilot the affairs of the country; it’s not easy. The President means well for this country.”
