Osun monarch begs Tinubu to re-open border with Benin Republic

Speaking with newsmen in his palace on Sunday, the monarch posited that reopening the border would ease the economic hardship of Nigerians.

“At the time the Benin Republic border was closed, the Federal Government was protecting the economy of the country,” the Oba said.

“But I want to urge the President to look at the possibility of reopening the border to ease the pain of Nigerians.”

However, he also urged Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu as he works hard to ameliorate the condition of things.

“The gain of the removal of fuel subsidy is coming, but it may not be immediate. And that is why we need to be patient with the president.

“Let us give this administration time. We will surely get there.”
