The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has pleaded with Nigerians to be patient and reason along with President Bola Tinubu over his economic policies.

Wike made the plea on Wednesday when he paid a condolence visit to Gov. Seyi Makinde in his Ikolaba residence, Ibadan, over the demise of his brother, Sunday Makinde.

The former Rivers State governor was accompanied on the visit by former governors of Benue and Abia States, Samuel Ortom and Okezie Ikpeazu respectively.

Addressing newsmen after the visit, Wike said all of Tinubu’s policies were fundamentally aimed at bettering the nation’s lot, having faced significant challenges in the past.

“So, it’s essential to recognise the progress this administration has made, and the efforts being put in place to improve our situation,” he said.

He urged the public to understand that while the transition might be painful, it was necessary for long-term benefits.

“The policies President Bola Tinubu is enacting are designed to benefit all Nigerians.

“We should not panic because Mr President genuinely cares for our country, and I assure you that better days are ahead,” Wike said.

Commiserating with the Makinde family, the FCT minister expressed deep condolences and emphasised the importance of unity in times of grief.

He shared heartfelt words of support with the family members, assuring them they were not alone in their difficult period.
