Press statement from the Presidency :
President
Muhammadu Buhari felicitates with all Nigerians of the Islamic faith as
they celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir. President Buhari also
congratulates all Nigerian Muslims who are currently in the Saudi Arabia
to participate in the rites of the Hajj.
As they join the global Islamic community in celebrating Eid-El-Kabir,
President Buhari urges Muslims and other Nigerians to rededicate
themselves to a greater acceptance and internalisation of its lessons of
piety, faithfulness, dedication, fortitude, obedience, sacrifice and
selfless service which are for the benefit of all mankind.
The
President calls for more patience, fortitude, tolerance, endurance,
patriotism and a greater willingness to make personal sacrifices for the
good of all as his administration strives to lead the nation towards
rapidly overcoming its current security, economic and developmental
challenges.
President Buhari assures all Nigerians that their safety, well-being and
progress remain uppermost in his thoughts and actions, and that he will
continue to work with all his might to deliver the positive changes in
national life which they expect after his election and inauguration as
Head of the Government of the Federation.
The President seizes
this opportunity to extend heartfelt commiserations to families in
Maiduguri and North-Eastern Nigeria who have sadly lost beloved
relatives in recent terrorist attacks.
President Buhari’s thoughts
and prayers for Divine solace are with all those who have been
callously plunged into mourning by mindless terrorists, when others are
celebrating this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.
The President has directed the Armed Forces and national security
agencies to provide maximum security across the nation during
Eid-El-Kabir prayers and celebrations, especially in areas most
vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
President Buhari assures all Nigerians that the days of Boko Haram are numbered.
Boko Haram’s reign of terror in parts of the country will be finally
over very soon as the ongoing military onslaught against the terrorist
sect will continue relentlessly until total victory is achieved.
