Nigerians’ support for Tinubu, other leaders is ‘vote for better tomorrow’: Buhari
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians, in a Sallah message, to support our leaders from the lowest to the topmost, at this crucial juncture of our democracy.
Speaking to journalists in Daura, shortly after observing the Eid prayer on Wednesday morning, the former president congratulated fellow Muslims on the successful completion of the 30-day Ramadan fasting and the performance of the Eid, and urged “all citizens to support our leaders from the local government level to the highest at the center, in their efforts to transform the development landscape of the nation.”
“Support for our leaders,” he further stated, “is a vote for a better tomorrow.”
“It is imperative that we stand united in safeguarding the sovereignty and integrity of our nation,” he said, calling on contestants to political offices “to always ensure a smooth succession from one administration to another without stoking communal tensions and obstructing development, irrespective of political party affiliation.”
The former President expressed his appreciation to the people of Daura, his hometown, and the State in general, for according him a warm welcome as indicated by the massive crowd at the Eid prayer ground.
He expressed his happiness at being in the midst of his people after finishing his term as President.
