A former Vice Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, Prof Oyewale Tomori, has called on Federal Government to put in the necessary work for its reforms to produce quick positive results that cushion the suffering and hardship of ordinary Nigerians.


Tomori made this call on the Friday edition of ‘Inside Sources’ with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television.

The eminent virologist said Nigerians have been patient enough in the last 22 months since the administration of President Bola Tinubu introduced its twin policies of petrol subsidy removal and unification of the foreign exchange.


“We must not think of the immediate but long term. Where are we going? Where are all these economic policies leading us? Is it going to be better than what we have? If it is, then we need to be patient.

“There are measles spots of the good things they are doing. We must let those things continue and improve on them rather than say this government is not this, this government is not that.

“It is easy to destroy but it takes a long time to rebuild. It is easy to tell Nigerians: ‘Be patient, be patient’. We’ve been patient all along. I hope the government people are also listening that there is a time limit to patience.


“People must begin to see the effect of what you are doing and making a change in their lives, positive changes. When that happens, this government or any government will get the support of the people,” Tomori said.

He charged the government to address the issues of security and electricity and make the environment conducive for people to live and practice what they know.

The former VC also challenged state governments to rise to the occasion and be beneficial to the people.

The Federal Government in Abuja will carry out reforms in the individual states abi?

Yet every business or job is in a state in Nigeria? Quite obvious that his sambos don’t understand the Federal system we operate in Nigeria.

Under democrazy they are waiting for Abuja, instead of promoting the comparative advantages of their states, they are still in military mindset?

Almijiri in Sokoto is shouting Tinubu, the sophisticated educated Almijiris down south are also shouting President?

Mumu Nigerians need reorientation fast, no state Government or local government is held accountable, even someone in Abia, will blame the governor of Osun state.

Everything na President & Federal Government fault?

let the federal government holds the state govt an local govt accountable for money been disbursed to them monthly. It doesn't fit you to slam people calling for good governance from FG.

What concerns the federal government in Abuja with money entitled to the states, is it the people in Abuja’s fault that the persons you elected in your states cannot show u any prosperity in 25 years of democrazy?

Instead of holding the Governor’s accountable, all of you will be playing ethnicity politics in the state, it is the president & Government in Abuja that is the common enemy, yet the enemy is right beside u.

The FG has a lot of work to do because 90% of Nigerians know only the FG and have no knowledge who the state or local govt is. The FG needs to publish revenue shared with the state and local govt monthly, publish all the names of senator, house of rep, governors and local govt for their people to know them and hold them dearly.
Alot of Nigerians are more concerned about who will be the president then their state governors or local govt chairman.
All they need is a change in orientation and who to hold responsible.

seek enlightenment so you can cure your ignorance
The problem at hand is caused by FG there is nothing the states can do about ,I know you are saying this because you guys are expert at shifting blame never accepting responsibility, you see the problems are caused by monetary and fiscal policies, these policies can only be carried out by the FG until then can the states compliment
If the foundation be destroyed, what will the righteous do ,is what is playing out
