Speaking further, he said that Nigerians will be calling for a second term for President Tinubu after witnessing his first-term achievements.
He said, “This is just one year; the economy was a mess before he took over. Let the people exercise patience. Let them wait a bit longer for the President to work more on revamping the economy. I know that before he finishes his first term, the people will be calling for a second term because of what he will have achieved.”
