Tinubu to Nigerians: Be patient, persevere, things would get better

President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, assured Nigerians that things would get better for the common good of the People with more patience, perseverance and consistency in Governance.

Tinubu gave the assurance at a colourful and well-attended Ceremony for the Inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo for a Second Term in Office held at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

Tinubu, who earlier commissioned a Road leading to the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, appealed to the People to endure the hardship occasioned by the removal of Fuel Subsidy.

He congratulated the People of the State on their resolve to vote Uzodimma, whom he described as “a very unique Individual that resonates with a Progressive Agenda”.

“I assure you here today that you have gotten a good and dependable Democrat, a hardworking Man, who will think and do,” he said.

The President urged Uzodimma to make further commitment towards Economic recovery and rapid development of the State.

“Before now, every one of us is enveloped with fear to come to Imo.

“Today, Imo is safe and happy and ready for Business.

“What we learnt from this is for us to work together, join hands and pay attention to our Internal Security,” Tinubu said.

He promised more robust collaborations between the Federal and Imo Governments in the Area of Security.

Earlier in a remark after taking the Oath of Office at exactly 3:22p.m., Uzodimma commended the People for their love and support during the Governorship Election of November 11, 2023.

He said his Oath Taking for his Second Term was a renewal of his Covenant with God and the good People of the State.

The Governor said that the past four years had been characterised by good management of Public Funds that had addressed the problem of Infrastructure deficit.

The Ceremony was attended by Eminent Nigerians, including former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, Speaker, House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, some State Governors, the Clergy and Traditional Rulers, among others.
