Have faith in the country, have faith in yourselves, believing as a citizen of this country that it will be well with us,” the Nigerian leader stated.
Mr Tinubu added, “You must join hands to live together without religious or tribal sentiments. Live with one another in joy and prosperity. Nigeria will see peace and stability, and God will grant those in the war front victory and peace and spare their lives.”
