Famodun appealed to those who might be having more expectations from the Buhari administration to continue to exercise patience, as life more abundant is in stock for all and sundry during his second tenure in government.

He also pleaded with the people, irrespective of their party affiliations to continue to pray for their leaders in general and the President  in particular for divine  help  to achieve his desired goals in government.
