“He has come with a great sense of inclusiveness. And Nigerians are having a sense of belonging in this government and I tell you that his pronouncements so far and his body language have increased the confidence of Nigerians in Nigeria and we believe that, given the chance, he will do a lot more and we are praying that the Lord will strengthen his hand, to be able to do more and turn around the fortunes of this country.”
He added: “We know that there are a lot of challenges, but what we tell our people is that this is just the beginning of this administration and Nigeria is big and what we face now started not just today. It started many years back, and it will take a while to turn around these things.
“But the important thing is that there is an intentional step that the President has taken, and is taking to reverse the trend of events, especially in the area of governance. We see it very clearly and we see the effort he is making towards securing this nation.
“So, we ask Nigerians who are watching and those people who seem to have lost hope, not to lose hope, but to have patience and persevere,. Though it is night, we know that a new dawn is just in the horizon.”
