President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration remains committed to restoring peace and security across the country in an Easter message.
In his Easter message to the nation on Friday, the president expressed sadness over recent attacks in some parts of the country.
“I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused. Let me assure you that my administration’s resolve to restore peace and security remains unshakable. Forces of evil will never prevail over our country,” he said.
Tinubu said he has given clear directives to the armed forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity “decisively” and “without delay”.
“With the unwavering courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability,” the president said.
“We are also grateful to all Nigerians for your patience and resilience as our economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery. We understand the economic challenges many of you are facing, and we are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians.
“During this Easter, we join the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis’s recovery. We pray that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
“I earnestly pray that Easter’s spirit fills every heart and home with renewed faith in the immense possibilities ahead of us as a nation. Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.”
The president urged all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress.
“The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths,” he said.
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity.”
