Betta Edu, former minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, says Nigeria is going through a phase and would soon emerge from it.
Edu spoke on Sunday in Abuja during the celebration of her 38th birthday.
The ex-minister said she is confident that the President Bola Tinubu administration would take Nigerians to a better place.
She also pleaded for patience from citizens.
“And I want to thank God for all of you. Thank you for standing by me and supporting Nigerian youths,” she said.
“I would use this opportunity to equally pray for our dear country, and I am confident that Nigeria will be better. I am confident that indeed hopes of Nigerians will be renewed.
“I am confident that God will give the president and our leader President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the wisdom to be able to manage this country. And I am confident that things will change for the better.
“What we want to say to Nigerians is that with more patience, things will begin to get better. We are going through a phase and we’d soon be out of it and everybody will be happy again.
“The ark of God will come back.”
