God is Testing Nigeria with Trying Moments, Says Tinubu Support Organisation

Kuni Tyessi in Abuja

The Founder and Director-General of the Tinubu Support Organisation (TSO), Aminu Suleiman has pleaded with Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu amid the current economic challenges and high cost of living.

While describing the current economic crisis as ‘a test from God’, he called on Nigerians to pray for their leaders.

He made the plea in Abuja during the eighth anniversary of the Nigeria Most Influential Awards (NMIA) organised by VGlamour Magazine, where he was conferred with an award.

Suleiman said: “On the current president, we are among the first people that began the journey because we all know his capacity. He was a former Lagos State governor and you see that for just four to five months that he took over, he has gone all over the world. This is the first time that we would see an African leader go to India for the G-20, he went to Saudi Arabia and he is in Dubai. We just need Nigerians to exercise patience with him because he met a lot of challenges.

“Everyone knows that insecurity and many other things are going on in Nigeria. Insecurity is a major problem because, without a secured environment, you won’t be able to do many things. I think he is going to tackle security first and other things will follow. As a Muslim, this kind of economic crisis happened during the time of the Prophet. We can’t blame anyone for this. It is from God. I want to acknowledge the words of President Muhammadu Buhari , who said ‘Change begins with me.’ We as Nigerians also have problems. We have to start the change individually.”

 Also, the Publisher of VGlamour magazine, Vivian Lam, said the Nigeria Most Influential Awards was designed to honour excellence, innovation, and purposeful leadership across all various sectors in Nigeria.

She said the awardees had used their influence to stand in the gap between the government and the people while also impacting individuals, youths, women and children.
