“PLEASE DO NOT LOSE HOPE IN MY ADMINISTRATION” – BUHARI BEGS NIGERIANS

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians not to lose
faith in his administration.
In his 2016 Eid-El-Maulud message, the president said
“the reality of the temporary challenges should not
undermine our hope, reverse our collective will to
succeed, or divide us..”
Read Mr. Buhari’s full message:

Again the calendar of life has brought us into another
period of celebration, and deep reflection. Celebration,
because we are marking the birth of Prophet Mohammed
(Peace Be Upon Him), and deep reflection, because it is
another opportunity of pausing, taking a deep breath and
reflecting on the current realities before us.
First of all, I wish all Muslims a happy and memorable
celebration of the birth of the great Prophet, through
whose teachings, particularly on peaceful living, tolerance,
sobriety, generosity, sacrifice and honesty, and wisdom,
the nation has gained immensely in building a harmonious
and prosperous society. The universal truths of the
Prophet’s values remain unchanged.
Against all odds, we have used these pillars of strength in
securing a just and fair society, and our efforts are
beginning to yield dividends in curbing terrorism,
militancy, corruption and other crimes that devalue our
humanity.
As we use the memorable occasion of this celebration to
reflect on our current challenges, I urge you not to lose
faith in the ability of this administration to make a
difference in the lives of our people.
The reality of the temporary challenges should not
undermine our hope, reverse our collective will to
succeed, or divide us; rather it should remind us of why
we need to stay together, fight together and succeed
together. We all share a vision of a better Nigeria, and we
will all share in the responsibility of building the country
of our dreams.
As we look forward to 2017 with hope and huge
expectations, let me assure you that with collective
dedication and hard work, we will overcome the mountain
of economic difficulties, and return our country to the
path of prosperity.
The 2017 Budget proposals which I will lay before the
National Assembly on Wednesday, will contain measures
that we are confident will get the nation out of its
economic woods.
As we celebrate and reflect, I wish all Nigerians a
peaceful Eid-el-Maulud.
MUHAMMADU BUHARI
PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
