But President Tinubu was excited on Monday, saying the situation has changed for better when hosting religious and traditional leaders for an interfaith breaking of the fast at the Presidential Villa, Abuja
Tinubu in a statement by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, promised to continue making the most of the opportunity given to him to lead the country by sustaining the trajectory of economic growth and prosperity.
He assured Nigerians of his administration commitment to winning the ongoing war against banditry and terrorism, in order to restore peace in the country
"I am just grateful, one person among millions, that I have been given the opportunity to serve. And all I can do is promise that I will continue to be faithful in discharging my duty. I can report that the economy has turned the corner.
“It is getting better. Pensioners are getting their relief gradually. We have saved Nigeria from bankruptcy.
“It was very daunting and challenging when we took over. But today I can say with pride and joy that we have survived. No governor in this country is running around the banks to borrow money to pay the salaries of their workers,” the President said.
He also assured Nigerians that the nation would not allow agents of instability to undermine its peace, unity, and sovereignty, while acknowledging the critical roles religious and traditional leaders play in promoting stability and moral guidance in communities.
“Yes, we are challenged; the terrorists are very desperate now because they are getting barraged and defeated, they leave trails of blood in their wake. But I assure you of one thing: Nigeria will never surrender. We are not discouraged. We are going to win and win well,” he added.
President Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to investing in critical sectors such as agriculture and education to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
He urged Nigerians not to lose hope, assuring them that his administration remains focused on building a safer, more secure, and prosperous nation for all.
In his remarks, the Etsu Nupe, Yahaya Abubakar, expressed gratitude to the President for hosting leaders of the two major religions at the breaking of fast, which he said symbolises unity.
He prayed for God’s guidance, protection, and for peaceful coexistence in the country, as well as for the President’s success.
The Etsu Nupe represented the President, the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), and the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa`ad Abubakar.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), represented by Archbishop Daniel Okoh and Dr Stephen Baba-Panya, President of The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), assured President Tinubu of the church’s support for his administration in its determination to transform the economy and strengthen the country’s security architecture.
Traditional rulers and religious leaders from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria attended the event.
