Easter: President Buhari Congratulates Christians, Urges Election Losers To Allow Judiciary Play Its Role
President Muhammadu Buhari in his last Easter message to Nigerians as first citizen on Friday morning, urged those who are aggrieved by the outcomes of the elections held on February 25 and March 18 to exercise patience and allow the judiciary to play its role.
He urged all Nigerians to continue to be confident in the country for better days ahead.
The President also said he had been guided by the promises he made to keep Nigeria united and prosperous while noting that it was a ‘rare privilege’ to get elected in 2015 and win re-election in 2019.
Describing Easter as a season commemorating the triumph of light over darkness, the President 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.
It is a season that reminds us that the Almighty can turn an unpleasant situation around for good.
Recognizing 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’.
The president commended Nigerians for believing in the electoral process that has produced the next set of leaders at the federal and state levels while urging those aggrieved to allow the judiciary to play its role.
‘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.
The president noted that his administration’s successes in security, economy, infrastructure, new oil frontier basins, landmark legal reforms as well as food sufficiency, among others, were made possible because Nigerians had supported him.
‘As we celebrate this season with our families, neighbours and communities, let us do so in love, compassion, kindness, resilience and forgiveness’ he added- Team@orientactualmags.com
