The former governor, who acknowledged the suffering Nigerians are going through in this period, said, “While going through the tunnel, it certainly will be dark and almost unbearable but we call on fellow Nigerians to be patient and let us pass through this necessary period now for a better tomorrow.”
“Most times, if you go to a doctor, if that doctor must attend to you properly, you will need to exercise a lot of patience because there might be the need for him to open you up. I mean there will be the need for him to carry out serious surgical operation on you.”
“Now if the doctor sees the need to carry out surgical operation on you, he will first of all have to tear your body and that will cause you pains. I know that such period or process is surely painful. For Nigeria and Nigerians, this is our surgical period so, let us all endure the pains which is for a while. These measures Mr. President has taken will temporarily be discomforting but it is only for a short while God willing,” Goje said.
