Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reassured Nigerians not to panic despite the current economic challenges, stating that the policies implemented by President Bola Tinubu are designed to elevate the country to new heights.

Speaking on Wednesday after leading a delegation of former G5 Governors to pay a condolence visit to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State following the death of his elder brother, Sunday Makinde, Wike emphasized that Nigeria has overcome significant hurdles in the past, and the progress under the Tinubu administration should not be overlooked.

Wike was accompanied by former Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), alongside Senators Sandy Onor, Philip Aduda, Olaka Nwogu, Mao Ohuabunwa, and Rt. Hon. Chibudom Nwuche.

The delegation was received at Governor Makinde’s Ikolaba residence.

Wike highlighted that Nigerians tend to forget the nation’s struggles too quickly, pointing out that the country was on the brink before the current administration took over.

He stressed that the policies being introduced by President Tinubu, though causing temporary discomfort, are vital for long-term progress, urging Nigerians to remain hopeful for better days ahead.

Wike said: “I have always said that people should be patient. This country was something else a few years ago. You know, Nigerians always forget where we were and what efforts have been put in place.

“As I speak to you, if you want the country to be remedy you need to be patient. You need to give time. It’s not like a miracle thing.

“On the policies Mr. President, is putting in place are policies that, yes, would have some effect. People would have to feel it. By the end of the day, are we going to achieve what we were supposed to achieve? Yes.

“That is the current situation. So, for me, nobody should panic, Mr President meant well for the country and Nigerians should expect that better things will come ahead.

Speaking on the essence of the visit, the Miniater said: “We came to pay a condolence visit to our friend and our brother, the governor of Oyo State, all of you know the relationship we have with him as a member of the G5 Governors forum, who stood for equity and fairness in this country.

“He lost his senior brother, who is also our own senior brother. What affects him affects all of us. The death of his senior brother was so touching to all of us, because we know how close he was with his senior brother.

“Also, it’s not something that has happened to us personally, and we felt we should come commiserate with him, identify with him at this point in time. We believe that by the special grace of God, the creator, the one who gives and takes, the senior brother would be resting in the bosom of the Lord. God would give him the strength to bear this loss.”
