President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to pray for bandits and terrosists to abandon their criminal activities, while assuring citizens that his administration remains committed to defeating insecurity across the country.
In his Eid-el-Kabir message released on Tuesday, the President congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and around the world on the celebration, describing the festival as a reminder of “faith, obedience, and the willingness to sacrifice for a higher purpose.”
Tinubu urged Nigerians to embrace “sacrifice, selflessness, unity, and compassion,” stressing that the values symbolised by Prophet Ibrahim remain important in rebuilding the nation.
Speaking on the country’s security challenges, the President acknowledged that att+cks by t+rrorists and bandits still persist despite efforts by security agencies.
“I am aware that, despite the best efforts of our security and intelligence agencies, including the recent elimination of a wanted ISIS leader, heartless terrorists and bandits still att+ck some communities,” he said.
“I assure you, you are neither abandoned nor forgotten. We will ultimately defeat all the forces of ev+l.”
The President also appealed to Nigerians to pray for peace and wisdom for leaders during the Sallah celebration.
“Let us pray that those who commit crimes among us may rethink and abandon their evil ways, or face the full weight of the law,” Tinubu stated.
Highlighting the state of the economy, the President said the reforms introduced by his administration over the past three years were beginning to produce positive results.
“The walk through the dark tunnel is over, and the light is here,” he said, adding that Nigeria is becoming “a preferred investment destination” that will drive economic growth and job creation.
He ended the message by wishing Nigerians a peaceful and blessed Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
