Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu has asked Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari saying that the president is still on honeymoon.

Tinubu, who met with Buhari day at the State House, said that the president needed to take stock and determine the true extent of damage before taking decision.

He said he came to see the president to make sure that the party remained on the right track.

Asked to react to the allegation that the president is going too slow in handling the nation's affairs, Tibunu replied, "Excuse me! Let us calm now here. How long ago? May 29th was when this president was sworn in. It is an international norm all over the world, there is an honeymoon period, at least a minimum of 100 days honeymoon. And you won't allow honeymoon at all?”

"You said change is not coming, change is not by magic is driven by the people the spirit and the character and the planning.

"You see, we have had so much problem in this country in the past because we run into policy blind folded without adequate and effective planning. You don't have results unless you plan well. The time it takes you to plan, examine, re jig, re-evaluate is more important than the time you just rush into taking action because you are either being sentimental, being emotional and being driven by other forces that are not expected.

"Is not fair to jump into those conclusions. There must be time to plan, to review and even listen to people.

"There is a separation between a campaign period, articulating your vision, expressing the promises to Nigerians, there is a time to look at holistically what you inherited, analysis it, distill and then take action.

"Even in 100 meters race, there is a time to say on your mark, set, ready, go. So you don't even want a time to be on your mark, set and go? No no no. You are not being fair."
