“Ordinary Nigerians Will Feel The Positive Impact Of My Government”

President Muhammadu Buhari has reassured all Nigerians that their sacrifices in voting for him won’t be in vain as he will ensure that ordinary voters feel the positive impact of his government.

Buhari also reassured Nigerians that under no circumstances would criminals and mass murderers be allowed to hold the country to ransom, saying “their days are numbered because this administration will pursue them relentlessly and bring them to justice.”

The President gave this reassurance in an Eid-El Fitr Sallah message to Nigerians to celebrate the end of the Ramadan fasting season on Tuesday.

Buhari commiserated with victims of terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in the country and vowed to bring all those fueling insecurities in the country to justice, saying their days were numbered.

He expressed satisfaction at the conduct of peaceful elections in Nigeria, despite what he called “doomsday predictions of social disharmony.” He said:

“Before the 2019 general elections, prophets of doom didn’t give the country a chance to conduct peaceful elections. Despite these fears, the country overcame its political challenges. For abandoning their businesses in order to vote, the voters had demonstrated great patriotism in coming out to exercise their civic duty. Let me use this opportunity once again to reassure all Nigerians that your sacrifices in voting for me won’t be in vain. I will ensure the ordinary voters feel the positive impact of government.”

Turning to the lessons of the Ramadan, the President urged Muslims to always put humanity before personal interests, adding “the Ramadan period is meant to reinforce us spiritually, therefore, we should use religion as an inspiration to do good at all times. The virtues of the Ramadan should be sustained beyond the celebration. Going back to bad ways after the Ramadan might defeat the essence of the message and lessons the fasting period was supposed to inculcate in the hearts and minds of the Muslim faithful.”
