Femi
Adesina which is the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President
Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that only those who are patient with the current
government will eat the fruit of the land.
While speaking on Radio
Continental, Adesina said his principal would fulfill all his campaign promises
before he leaves office.
The ace journalist,
who admitted that things were truly hard in the nation, added that many
countries were going through hard times like Nigeria before things finally
comes good to them.
According to him, “We
know that things are very difficult in the country. But that is not peculiar to
Nigeria, as a number of countries like Venezuala are going through tough times.
Nigeria is not immune from that because it is part of the global system.
“In the recent past,
on a radio interview, I had been asked: ‘Does government know that people are
suffering and that people are complaining?’ I answered that government is aware
of what the citizens are passing through, and the radio station went further to
ask if I know that a man exchanged his son for a bag of rice?”
Speaking on what the
government is doing to reduce the suffering of the masses, Adesina said, “Yes,
even one week in government is a long time. The times would change and those
who believe it would see it . Those who are ready to be patient would eat the fruit
of the land. A lot is being done to make life better for Nigerians.
“The Finance Minister,
Mrs Kemi Adeosun, says technically, Nigeria is in recession. Why do we have
government? Government is there to alleviate the plight of the people and make
things better. The onus is on the people to then be patient, knowing that this
government is out for their interest and cares for them. It is not a magic wand
that can be waved and everything happens. It is a process.
“It is not a magic wand that can be waved and everything happens. It is a process, and a painstaking one that something good would come out from.”
