The monarch said: “Nigerians should be patient with the President. The President came into power when the country was already in an economic mess.
“No doubt about it. So we need to follow him gradually to enable him fix the country properly for the good of all.
The monarch, however, lamented the recent Ministerial appointments made by the President.
