President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to be confident and believe strongly in Nigeria.
Buhari who made this call in his 2023 Easter message issued on Good Friday and personally signed by him, urged Nigerians to be hopeful of better days ahead, adding that Nigeria will surmount the challenges confronting her, just as Christ triumphed over death.
He said, “I join Christians in Nigeria and around the world to celebrate Easter, which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, signposting his victory over death.
“At the heart of Easter, is the triumph of light over darkness.
“It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation around for good.
“Recognising that Easter is about renewed hope and a glorious future, I urge all Nigerians to continue to be confident and believe strongly in our country for better seasons ahead.
“As a nation, we have gone through an election that has produced the next set of leaders at the federal and state levels.”
He congratulated those who won at the polls as he advised those seeking redress to patiently wait for the verdict of the courts and tribunals.
“I commend Nigerians for believing in the process. While I congratulate those that have been elected, I acknowledge that it is the right of those who feel dissatisfied with the outcome to seek redress. I expect them to wait patiently and allow our legal system to run its course,” he said
