The member representing Orhionmwon/Uhumwode Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Chief Billy Osawaru, has pleaded with Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu the benefit of the doubt, saying things will get better in the long run. 

 Addressing journalists in Abuja, the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker said the House of Representatives is very much aware of the prevailing hardship in the land, adding that the lawmakers are working to ease the pains of the people. 

He also asked Nigerians for patience and tolerance as the situation will soon be better, adding, “No pain, no gain.” 

While charging Nigerians to be patient and tolerant, Chief Osawaru said: “If you get two thousand naira as subsidy, just on a short term, then that suffering is still there and we are still going to pay the price. But if we can just let the two thousand go towards something else that would make our lives better in the long run.

“You are not just going to enjoy it; your children will enjoy it, and your children’s children will enjoy it. I am sure that it is our goal that patience and tolerance are what we are pleading for because I understand the way it is; there is always going to be a shake-up and not in a pleasant way. 

“Imagine someone that used to buy fuel for N180, today he is buying it for 537; it is not the same feeling, we know the hardship is there, but I can assure you that it is going to be for a short period. If we can go through this short period by being patient with the new administration, better days will be ahead for us all.
