Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has again called on citizens to continue to have patience with his administration as “their sacrifices will soon yield good fruits” and take the country out the present economic challenges and hardship.
Tinubu, who made the rallying call in his Easter message to the nation on Friday, said the Christian community must highlight the themes of “love, sacrifice, and compassion” exhibited by the occasion.
In the message which was contained in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu told Nigerians that just like Jesus Christ, their suffering would lead to good tidings at the right time.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends warm wishes to Christians across Nigeria and around the globe, stating the significance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for humanity as a profound lesson in selflessness and compassion, particularly for leaders and citizens alike,” the statement reads.
“President Tinubu says the seeds of patience sown by Nigerians, amid the prevailing economic hardship, will soon begin to yield good fruits.
“President Tinubu, commended Nigerians for the sacrifices they have made in the past few months of his administration, for the nation to be steered to the path of recovery and sustainable growth.
“President Tinubu notes that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for humanity is an emphatic lesson for leaders and all Nigerians to yield to selflessness and compassion, and be steadfast in the pursuit of a united, peaceful, and prosperous nation.
“The President strongly commends Nigerians for the sacrifices they have made in the past few months for the nation to be steered to the path of recovery and sustainable growth, assuring them that the seeds of patience which they have sown are beginning to sprout and will in no time bring forth an abundance of good fruits.
“As Christians celebrate the victory of life over death as exemplified by the resurrection of Christ, President Tinubu assures all citizens that Nigeria will triumph over its challenges as his administration remains firmly committed to this end,” it added.
