By Celine-Damilola Oyewole
The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians, particularly youths to be patience with the present administration as it works earnestly, to ensure that things get better.
The first lady gave the advice in the State House on Wednesday during an interview with newsmen on the planned nationwide hunger protest by some youths.
“I appeal to the youths to be patience, we did not come to the state house to play, we are here to work because I know we would leave this place one day.
“The government has been working day and night to make sure that our country is put back on its feet.
“The respect we have now as Nigerians, in the international community is higher than what we had in the past.
“People now want to do business with Nigerians legitimately and that will create jobs. Therefore, our youths should try and engage themselves, be creative and do more,” she said
The First Lady said Lagos state was yet to recover from the impact of #endsars protest, and it saddened the hearts.
“When people beat drums for protest, they may not know the backlash and what will happen after.
“That is why we are appealing to the youths to restrain from the planned protest, give peace a chance and embrace dialogue,” she said. (NAN) (www nannews.ng)
