Musa implored Nigerians to be patient with the government, saying policies have been enacted and actions have been taken to ensure there is relief from the hardship.

He said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have come out to the street to address Nigerians if he were concerned about their wellbeing. But one thing we are able to do is to make strong statements and send messages to people in power. We have made the people to see the power of holding the government accountable. This will bring the government to the consciousness that governance is about people.
