President Bola Tinubu has urged Muslims and Nigerians in general never to relent in their faith in his administration’s ability to turn around the economy.
Tinubu also urged Nigerians to remain patriotic citizens as
policies aimed at bringing prosperity to all are being diligently implemented.
He gave the assurance on Wednesday in Lagos, when he joined
the Muslim faithful to observe Eid-el-Fitr prayers.
Addressing journalists after the prayers at the Eid Ground
at the Dodan Barracks, the President said the Renewed Hope Agenda of his
administration, which is aimed at bringing prosperity to Nigerians, is being
diligently implemented.
“Continue to have faith in my government and remain
patriotic citizens.”
Encouraging Muslims celebrating the conclusion of Ramadan to
extend the values of sacrifice and resilience beyond the fasting period, Tinubu
emphasized the need for Nigerians to prioritize the exhibition of love for
their country.
“The resilience and sacrifice that we have shown and made
during these months should be preserved. Be a kind and cheerful giver. We must
love our country more than any other country, because that is the only one we
have.
“We must continue to protect the integrity of our government
and leadership.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda is alive, well and fine, and
Nigerians should continue to be very hopeful. Without hope, there is no salvation.
Without hope, there is no development. Without hope, there is no life. Eid
Mubarak,’’ the President told journalists at the end of the prayers led by the
Chief Imam of Lagos State, Sheikh Sulaiman Oluwatoyin Abou-Nolla.
Earlier in his sermon, the Chief Imam urged Nigerians to
shun all acts of violence, ensure peaceful co-existence, and continue to have
faith in the country.
He asked those in leadership positions to remain faithful to
their oaths of office and work towards alleviating the suffering of the less
privileged.
‘‘Let us not forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza and
other areas of conflict,’’ the Chief Imam said.
He offered prayers of God’s guidance, wisdom, and protection
for the President and the Lagos State government, as well as for peace and
stability in the country.
