Believe in better seasons, Buhari tells Nigerians in Easter message
President Muhammadu Buhari, in his Easter message, has urged Nigerians to believe in better seasons and a greater nation.
The president delivered the message in Abuja, joining Christians in Nigeria and globally to celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ, signified by Easter.
“At the heart of Easter, is the triumph of light over darkness. It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation around for good.
“Recognising that Easter is about renewed hope and a glorious future, I urge all Nigerians to continue to be confident and believe strongly in our country for better seasons ahead,” he said.
The president also congratulated the winners of the presidential and state elections, advising those dissatisfied with the results to patiently wait for legal actions.
“I commend Nigerians for believing in the process. While I congratulate those that have been elected, I acknowledge that it is the right of those who feel dissatisfied with the outcome to seek redress. I expect them to wait patiently and allow our legal system to run its course.
“It has been a rare privilege for me to serve as your President since you gave me the first mandate in 2015 and renewed it in 2019, day after day, I have been guided by the vows I took to keep Nigeria united, prosperous and secure.
“Our successes on security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were possible because of the support of Nigerians.
“As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbours and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness,” he said.
