Patience Has Limit, Reforms Should Yield Results, Tomori Tells FG

Prof. Oyewale Tomori, a former vice Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, has urged the Federal Government to work hard to achieve the necessary reforms to alleviate the suffering and hardship of ordinary Nigerians.

The distinguished virologist was a guest on Channels Television’s Friday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political program.

According to him, Nigerians have been patient enough for 22 months since President Bola Tinubu’s twin policies, which are to remove the gasoline subsidy and unify the foreign exchange system.

We must not consider the immediate but long-term, according to Tomori. What destination are we in? What direction do these economic policies take us? Will it surpass what we currently possess? We must be patient if it is.

There are measles on some of their positive actions. Instead of claiming this government is not this government, this government is not that, we must let those things continue and make improvements.

It is simple to destroy, but lengthy to rebuild, according to the author. Be patient, be patient, Nigerians are quick to say that. We have been patient all along. I’m hoping that the people in charge of the government understand that patience has a time limit.

People must begin to notice the positive changes you are making in their lives. The people will support this government or any other government when that occurs.

“But when you tell me to be patient when I have black hair, and you continue to tell me to be patient when I have grey hair,” I’ll have to ask: “What else am I waiting for?”

“Patients must be patient, but also certain things must be accelerated in order for people to live well.

The professor urged the government to address security and electricity issues and create a conducive environment for people to live and practice their skills.

Tomori urged state governments to rise to the occasion and serve the people.

State governments should provide more amenities to the people, they should say. Nobody controls how they use the money they bring into Abuja to collect it, he said.

We should “push the state governments into doing the work as we are pressing the Federal Government.”
