President Bola Tinubu held a meeting with the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Francis Olusola Alao, in his office at the presidential villa in Abuja on Friday.
The Oyo State royal father visited the seat of the federal government on a courtesy call to the president following his successful inauguration in office.
After the meeting, the Oba spoke to correspondents and mentioned that they discussed matters of national importance that would bring peace and progress to the country.
He expressed his belief that the current hardships in the country would be temporary, as Nigerians would eventually reap the benefits of the administration’s policies.
The Oba said, “We paid a courtesy visit to the President to wish him well, a successful tenure, and also we’ve been able to discuss some national issues that will bring prosperity to all Nigerians. All I will say is, let all Nigerians be patient with him.
He has kicked off in a very positive direction, and there’s no way you’ll have gains without pain. We’ll have the immediate pain, but we’ll have the long-term gain. Nigerians will enjoy prosperity at the end of the day.
This government means business, and the business is to serve the people, to bring the dividends of democracy to the people. All the issues we have discussed are very positive about this government.”
He concluded by extending his good wishes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and expressing his hopes for a peaceful and prosperous nation.
“I wish Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a successful tenure. I wish Nigeria a peaceful coexistent country, a prosperous nation, and a fulfilled country, by the special grace of God.”
