The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu will take the country to the promised land full of economic prosperity and opportunities.

Oyetola who was speaking at the commissioning of a newly built ultra-modern palace of the Aragbiji of Iragbiji in Boripe local government area of Osun State acknowledged that the country is going through a difficult time.

He blamed it on the poor decisions of the past government led by former President Muhammadu Buhari. Oyetola urged the citizens to be supportive of the present administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He said, “I want to implore our people to exercise a lot of patience, President Bola Tinubu is doing a lot, he means well for the country but we are going to have difficult moments considering where we are coming from.

“We need a lot of patience to get over the initial problems, I believe that there would be light at the end of the tunnel, let Nigerians continue to pray for him, for knowledge and good health, I have no doubt that he will take us to where we expect, which is the promised land full of economic prosperity and opportunities”.

On the new palace, the Minister called for the contribution of development, saying that the government cannot do it all.

“Two years ago, precisely, during the 31st Iragbiji Day celebration, I challenged fellow sons and daughters of Iragbiji, to as a matter of necessity, emulate the commendable example set by our counterparts in Ijesaland regarding the development of the palace of the paramount ruler of Ijesaland. I am happy that we heeded the call, the result of which we are gathered here today to celebrate.

“Like the people of Ijesaland, this edifice we are unveiling today was made possible through community efforts, the journey of which started seven years ago, under the chairmanship of my humble self. Today’s inauguration is a further fulfillment of our resolve as a progressive community to unleash infrastructure development on our community,” he stated.
