Lekan Adewoye Urges Support For President Tinubu’s Re-election Bid

Chairman of Basic Metal Sector, Iron and Steel Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (BMSISMAN) Prince Lekan Adewoye has urged Nigerians to show patience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu while also emphasizing the need for them to support the president for a second term in office in order to give him the opportunity to fully implement his administration’s policies and achieve the desired results.

Adewoye, who said this while talking to journalists including Team@orientactualmags.com in Ilorin on Monday, noted that supporting President Tinubu’s re-election bid will make Nigerians feel the positive impacts of his administration’s economic policies maximally.

The BMSISMAN chairman, who was in Ilorin to attend the  ‘stakeholder meeting’ organized by the Kwara South Development Initiative (KSDI), also submitted that President Bola Tinubu has introduced the right economic  policies adding that ‘in all fairness, the president has done very well’.

‘If we want to continue on that trajectory, there are certain things that must be done. Nigeria as a country cannot continue to do what we were doing in the past’ he said.

Adewoye further said that although Nigerians have expressed concerns about the removal of petrol subsidy, the former co-presidential candidates, he noted, had also said they would do the same thing if elected.

‘The performance of the president is fantastic. I know people have some concerns, but I  think what is important for us is to look at where we were, when this administration came it. 

When they came in, they took some bold steps because what was on the ground was not sustainable, so, we’ve seen people expressing concerns about the removal of subsidy, floating of currency but those were necessary policies that ought to have been done even before the president came in. So, he took the bold step and he did exactly what he should do.

I think things have changed. At the initial stage, we could see a sharp increase in the price of commodity but now that things are stabilizing we can begin to say that prices of commodities are coming down gradually. I know you can also attest to the fact that the price of rice is gradually coming down.

 So, I think Nigerians should just show patience. I believe the government is doing the right thing and all of us will have to wait and see the result of this very necessary policies of the government’ he said.

Adewoye also emphasized the need for unity and presentation of a common front by the people of Kwara South in order to achieve the ultimate goals of the region.

 ‘The Kwara south people should come together and see how, through concerted efforts we can achieve our intimate goals . 

We have a lot of potentials, we have the human capacity, we have the resources. But if we don’t speak with one voice, if we don’t know what the potentials are , we’ll not be able to explore. It is what you know that you can explore. 

In Kwara South, we are not poor people,  we have been endowed with great resources, we have the human capacity, so, there’s the need for us to come together, use our natural resources, the human resources and others so as to achieve the desired results’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
