…..urges love, empathy among Nigerians
President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his resolve to ensure a prosperous Nigeria under his watch.
In a message to celebrate the Eid -el-fitri Sallah celebration, he reminded Nigerians that they must also never be weary of doing what is right, fair and just to all.
He noted: “We are at the dawn of a Renewed Hope for a better, greater and a more prosperous Nigeria and I stand ready to walk with all Nigerians, young and old, male and female, with this opportunity to serve you in honour and dignity. This is a commitment that I have made and one in which we cannot afford to fail,” he said.
He said to love one another, and have compassion, empathy and love for the country means Nigerians must become better citizens in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammed.
He called on the citizenry to constantly seek to become a better version of themselves in patriotism, dedication to duty and honesty.
He added: “Beyond the self-abnegation and pious living that the fasting period imposed on us, the spiritual exercise we just concluded has also helped us to improve on our moral character, refine our minds in pursuit of higher ideals for which there should be no turning back.
“At the heart of our faith and a major demand on all faithful is the requirement to commit ourselves to wholesome living. This entails love for one another, love for fellow humans regardless of creed, region and ethnicity, love for our communities and love for country.”
