I’m Working Day And Night To Solve Nigeria’s Challenges, Tinubu Says In Sallah Message


As Nigerians join their counterparts from across the world to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festivities, President Bola Tinubu has assured citizens that he is “working day and night” to solve the myriads of challenges facing the country.


Tinubu, in a statement he personally signed on Tuesday, said that the decisions taken so far by his administration will “reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth”.


“At the moment, our country is going through some challenges, especially with our struggling economy and simmering security challenges,” the President stated.


“While I acknowledge all of these, I want to assure you that they are not insurmountable. I am working day and night with my team, fleshing out solutions. We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth.


“As we embrace the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and Renewed Hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter.”

 

The President also asked Nigerians to remember the less privileged while celebrating.


Tinubu is scheduled to join fellow Muslim faithful for the Eid prayers on today at the Obalende Eid Prayer Ground, located at Dodan Barracks, the former seat of the Nigerian government.


The President returned to Nigeria on Tuesday after a five-day trip to France starting June 22, 2023.


After the two-day summit, the President proceeded to London, United Kingdom, for a “short private visit”, his spokesman, Dele Alake, said in a statement last Saturday, hinting that his principal will be back in Nigeria for the Eid-el-Kabir festivities on June 28 and 29, 2023.


In a statement upon his arrival, the President thanked Nigerians for the overwhelming reception accorded him in Lagos.


Tinubu conveyed his best wishes to all Nigerians during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.


See the President’s full statement below:


WE MUST MULTIPLY OUR GOOD DEEDS


I join Muslims in Nigeria and all over the world in observance of Eid-el-Kabir. We must thank Almighty Allah for the grace to witness another Eid.


As we immerse ourselves in the joy of this moment and celebrate, let us remember those who may not be as fortunate as us.


Coming as the end of religious activities spanning the first ten days of the Islamic Month of Dhul Hijjah, Eid-el-Kabir enjoins us as Muslims to show mercy and compassion to our fellow humans.


Eid-el-Kabir is a festival of sacrifice and total obedience to Allah as exemplified in the exceptional action of Prophet Ibrahim.


There is no greater sense of duty ever recorded in history outside the ennobling example of Prophet Ibrahim in offering his only son Ismail as a sacrifice to Allah.


The best way by which we can demonstrate this example is in how we conduct ourselves in relation to our fellow citizens and in our duties to our beloved country. We must imbibe and manifest those values inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life, namely; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love and compassion.


This season, let us endeavour to multiply good deeds with our kindness to our fellow Muslims and others by helping and supporting the weak and vulnerable in our communities. By so doing, we showcase the values and virtues of our faith.


At the moment, our country is going through some challenges, especially with our struggling economy and simmering security challenges. While I acknowledge all of these, I want to assure you that they are not insurmountable. I am working day and night with my team, fleshing out solutions. We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth.


As we embrace the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and Renewed Hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter.


I wish you all a happy Sallah celebration.


Bola Tinubu


President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
