The Monarch in a statement by his Director, Media & Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, noted that he would utilize the seclusion to interact with his ancestors and pray Nigerians.

He then called on Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu’s administration while fixing national economy.

He said: “This time around, I want to pray and seek for the face of our Creator to intervene on the current economic situation.

“Things are very tough and people are feeling the hardship, I want to pray for all and sundry and specially urge the youths to exercise patience so that we will not use our hands to destroy our country.

“I know that people are passing through difficult periods in which they are not finding life easy and truly this is a challenging period.

“But I know that after this festival, normalcy will return to the country as the problems we are facing will soon come to an end”.
