The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, has called on Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu and support his administration.
He made the call on Thursday during a visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, saying the masses should calm down while President Tinubu works for a better country.
Channels TV reports that, after meeting with Tinubu, the businessman assured that a better Nigeria would emerge under the President’s watch.
He also expressed his confidence in Tinubu’s leadership.
“Sometimes, when things are going like this, I decided to come and talk to him and encourage him because people must get patience,” Chukwuma said.
“That this Mr President, I know how he behaves. Everything they want, they will see the better of Nigeria if they give him short time. Let everybody calm down for him. I am begging Nigerians for people to calm down. They will see a better Nigeria from him and I believe that.”
He also weighed in on the nationwide protests over the high cost of living and economic hardship.
On the demonstrations that led to violence and widespread property destruction in some places in the north, Chukwuma stressed the importance of protecting public infrastructure.
According to him, the Federal Government is committed to improving the citizens’ future.
“There is no benefit in destroying our things. Our benefit is to be calm and allow him to plan for the future of this country.
“Let everybody be patient because everybody knows that the former government sold oil, collected the money and did not supply but this government is just supplying but not getting the money,” he said.
“So let’s give him a chance, everything will be okay. The way I see him, he wants the best for this country, so I am encouraging everyone to be patient and not destroy public infrastructure,” he added.
