Former Lagos State governor, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu yesterday urged Nigerians to be patient with the president to lay the grounds for the positive transformation of Nigeria.
Tinubu who spoke at the convocation ground of Usman Danfodiyo University, Sokoto shortly after he was conferred with Honoris Causa Doctorate Degree of Business Administration (DBA), added that, Nigerians must appreciate anything made in Nigeria to enable us growth economy.
Talking on the expectations of many Nigerians about to be present government, the forner Lagos state governor and chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) insisted that, change cannot be instantaneous as many expected.
“To make those changes is not going to be easy. To turn around a bad situation is not easy. It is very, very easy for those who are greedy, for those who are looking for instant money in their pockets and reward in their stomach to think that change is easy.

“Change is not about the comfort of today but the success of tomorrow.
Until we start to do these things ourselves we cannot progress. Who told you that we cannot make this cotton that we used in making these academic gowns for Nigerians by Nigerians”.
While insisting that, the first and most paramount step towards reaching the desired change was to ensure food security for Nigeria, Tinubu said, the nation has no reason to import food, especially rice from other countries when we have enough arable land
“When we were coming from the Sokoto Airport, we saw good arable land and therefore, we advised that, let’s begin to spend our money on irrigation so that no more rice is imported into Nigeria, rather it should be rice from Sokoto, Kebbi and other states.
“A nation is not a surviving country, until you can feed your citizens. But I rather go hungry than gain a corn from China or India.
“Let’s feed ourselves. Today, Buhari is at the helm of affairs of this country and his focus is that, I don’t care what dollar is but my own is not for toothpicks.
“Nigeria must be for Nigerians. Our resistances must come from our prosperity. Must come from our homes and the works of our hands. The best of our tomorrow in yet to come” Tinubu averred.
On his part, the Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council For Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) Sa’ad Abubakar 111 urged Nigerians to remain focus in ensuring that peace reign supreme at all time.
