President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed not to rest until he brings relief to Nigerians.
Gatekeepers News reports that the President made this vow after acknowledging that Nigerians are “indeed facing challenges related to security and the cost of living.”
Buhari in his Eid-El Mubarak message to Nigerians on Saturday noted that “I am aware of all these challenges, and our administration is working hard to resolve them.”
The statement read, “I rejoice with Muslims in Nigeria and around the world as we celebrate Eid El Kabir. This celebration is, as always, an opportunity to reflect on the spiritual significance embodied by Eid, and to rededicate ourselves to showing love and care to our neighbours and others.
“Let us all strive to use religion as motivation for the love of our common humanity. If we’re committed to putting the teachings of our religions into practice, most of the evils afflicting our society would’ve been solved. Religion should never just be a mere badge of identity.
“The exploitation of the people by traders and the stealing of public funds by civil servants and other holders of public trust is a reflection of the abandonment of the teachings of our religions.
“Our society is a bundle of contradictions. People display external religiosity without fear of God; make life difficult for others; money becomes their god; leaders abandon their oaths of office by taking money meant for the welfare of the people & diverting it to private pockets.”
The President further wrote, “On this occasion we remember and salute our brave men and women in uniform, fighting terror on many fronts; we remember their families too, as well as all the people held hostage and kept away from their families by wicked and heartless terrorists.
“In Nigeria today, we are indeed facing challenges related to security and the cost of living. I am aware of all these challenges, and our administration is working hard to resolve them. I want to assure that I will, not rest until I bring relief to Nigerians.”
“I pray that this Eid will be a source of blessing, peace, prosperity and safety for us all. We will triumph over all of the challenges facing us. Peace, prosperity and stability will prevail in Nigeria. #EidMubarak,” he added.
