President Bola Tinubu has expressed optimism that Nigeria will overcome its challenges.
Speaking after special birthday prayers held in his honour
at the National Mosque in Abuja, the president said the moment was one of
gratitude to God and sober reflection on the state of the nation.
He said the country is currently facing economic challenges,
which he attributed partly to external factors, including the ongoing crisis in
the Middle East.
“We are going through a very difficult period which is not
our own making, as a result of the war in Middle East. We pray to Almighty
Allah to bring peace and stability to the rest of the world,” he said.
The president also acknowledged the outpouring of goodwill
messages from Nigerians across the country on the occasion of his birthday,
expressing appreciation for the support and prayers.
“I appreciate all of them, and I thank them. It was a deluge
of best wishes and I appreciate all Nigerians,” he said.
Tinubu urge citizens to remain hopeful and committed to
national development despite ongoing challenges, including issues around
electricity supply, rising transportation costs, and inflationary pressures.
Highlighting the resilience of Nigerians, the president
expressed confidence that the country would overcome its current difficulties.
“It is time to reflect, to give thanks to God Almighty, as
well as rededicate ourselves to the progress , development and prosperity of
this country,” he said.
“We are challenged; there is that of electricity, there’s a
problem of transportation hike, there’s a problem of expected inflation as a
result of the war that we have no control of. But we will overcome it. We are a
resilient nation. We will overcome.”
