A video has surfaced in which President Bola Tinubu made a passionate appeal to Nigerians to exercise patience over the biting economic conditions in the country.

In the video posted by the official X handle of the President, which did not reference the #EndBadGovernance protest, the president affirmed that the present suffering is temporary.

He said good plans are in the works, urging citizens to look at the larger picture.

Tinubu conceded that there is an unavoidable lag between the removal of the petrol subsidy and the coming to fruition of the policies to ameliorate the effects.

The president expressed his commitment to ensuring the greater good for a greater number of people, assuring that there will be a glorious dawn after the current “darkness.”

He stated, “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us, and there’s no doubt that it’s tough on us, but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All our good and helpful plans are in the works, and more importantly, I know that they will work.

“Sadly, there was an unavoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully on line; however, we are swiftly closing the time gap.

“I plead with you: please have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your wellbeing.

“We will get out of this turbulence, and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.

“For example, we shall fulfil our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them. No Nigerian student will have to abandon higher education because of a lack of money.

“Our commitment is to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of our people. On principle, we shall never falter. I assure you, my fellow countrymen and women, that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn.

“Now I must get back to work in order to make this vision come true. Thank you for listening, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
