Adesina said the president cannot perform magic to facilitate the change he promised, adding that it would take a minimum of 18 months to revive the economy.
Speaking on an interview with Radio Continental, Adesina said the change promised by the president will come but it would follow a process and it would be enduring.
“What government needs at a time like this, is cooperation and support. The president said this at an interview last week. He said things deteriorated over 16 years that PDP was in power, this is the ninth month of this government, and you want everything to have changed. It is not real,” he said.
“I think Nigerians have always complained, and we should learn to stop complaining and believe more.
“If you have elected a government because you believe it can bring change, and you have not allowed them to isolate what the problems are, and articulate what the solutions would be, and you begin to have all these complaints. I think it is not natural.
Adesina urged Nigerians to display realistic expectation, adding that realistic expectation will demand that people are patient, supportive, and encourage the government.
