The Oluwo of Iwo in Osun State, Oba Adewale Akanbi, has appealed to the Federal Government to do more in ameliorating the negative effects of subsidy removal on Nigerians.
Oba Akanbi, who spoke at the 32nd Iwo Day Celebrations held at the Oluwo Township stadium in Iwo on Saturday, also advised Nigerians to be patient and allow President Bola Tinubu improve the fortune of the country.
He said, “I’m appealing to the Federal Governments to keep on giving their best and write their names in gold. Though the Federal Government is already doing things to cushion the effect of subsidy, we still want them to do more.
“He (Tinubu) has taken the bull by the horns and what others were unable to do, he has done it. I just want to appeal to our people to be patient with him. Everything the Federal Government is doing will work for the best of Nigerians.
“This is the 32nd Iwo Day celebration and I thank God. Iwo Day is a very special one and our people are very happy. The energy in the town is positive. My town is moving. During my town, it’s from one achievement to another and today is for celebrating another achievement in the town.”
Speaking earlier, the President, Iwo Board of Trustees, Prof. Lai Olurode, implored Iwo indigenes, regardless of political differences to come together and work for the development of the community.
“We have different political parties and religious groups but when it comes to Iwo development, we come together. The division caused by political affiliation gets submerged and we unite together to form a bond that is committed to the development of the land”, Olurode said.
