Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has urged Nigerians to give Bola Tinubu more time to address the nation’s economic challenges.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the minister appealed to potential participants of the August protest to remain patriotic.
He emphasized that Tinubu should not be expected to resolve a century-old problem within a year.
He said an economy is not built overnight. “What you see today is an accumulated mismanagement over the last 100, 60, 30 years,” he said.
Tunji-Ojo said, “Mr President, to the best of my knowledge, never campaigned to be a magician; he campaigned as a statesman, he campaigned on the basis of ‘Renewed Hope’. Before hope could be renewed, it had dwindled.
“When you want to reboot hope that has been down, you need a bit of time, and we are on the right step.”
