In response to the challenges that the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy must have presented for Nigerians, the Governor of the state of Ekiti has advised his countrymen to show more restraint with the Federal Government Tinubu.
After paying a courtesy call on the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the Senate leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, as well as Ekiti state representatives in the National Assembly, Governor Oyebanji promised that Nigerians would soon get the benefit of their sacrifices when he spoke with journalists yesterday in Abuja at the National Assembly.

"Nigerians should be patient with President Bola Tinubu," the governor of Ekiti State remarked. "You cannot eat an omelet without breaking an egg. There is no microwave solution to our problem. You must face these challenges head on."

You owe it to the president to express your gratitude for having the bravery to take the bull by the horns. If we are going to find a way out of this mess, we are going to have to make some really tough choices.

"I just want to implore the people of Nigeria to have some patience; very soon, they will realize that the President had good intentions," I said.

Oyebanji thanked the leadership of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as the President and the rest of the senate, for their decision to select Opeyemi Bamidele as the majority leader of the senate.

"He is the best choice anybody can make," the Governor is reported to have added. Bamidele is a deserving representative from Ekiti State; we are proud of him; he is my brother; he is my collaborator; and he possesses the capacity and the ability to assist the leadership of the Senate in ensuring a smooth implementation of the President's agenda within the Senate.

"In Ekiti State, he has contributed enormously to the political developments that have taken place in the State. You may see us together today; we just finished a meeting with all of the members of the National Assembly from Ekiti, both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, to discuss the necessity of aligning our goals with those of our constituents.
