Former military head of state, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd) has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari and give him time to fulfull his campaign promises.
Gowon spoke during a condolence visit to the Awolowo home in Ikene-Remo in Ogun state over the loss of the matriarch of the family.
He said, “Whenever any government comes in, it is highly important to give it time to be able to really put things right. Nigeria is not an easy place to govern.
“I can assure you that there are as many problems as there are Nigerians in the world and everybody wants to do things in a particular way, in his own way and probably for his own interest.
“When you think of that as a leader, you ponder how you are going to get all the ideas together and do things right.
“When you have problems in a nation, it is not easy to get rid of them overnight.
“I think we have got to be patient with our president and then we have to cooperate with government to get things in order.’’
