President Bola Tinubu has said evil forces will not prevail over Nigeria, disclosing that he has directed the Armed Forces and other security agencies to end insecurity decisively, and without delay.
He stated this in a State House press statement issued to felicitate Christians in Nigeria and worldwide on the commemoration of Easter – celebration of the crucification and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The president stated in the release that the Easter celebration is a call for a deep reflection on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.
“As the president of our blessed nation, I draw inspiration from this timeless message of hope and renewal.
“I remain steadfast in my commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all,” he said.
President Tinubu said the recent tragic incidents and loss of lives in some parts of the country deeply saddened him, adding that he understood the pain and fear these incidents have caused.
Assuring that his administration’s resolve to restore peace and security remained unshakable, Tinubu declared “Forces of evil will never prevail over our country.
“I have 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.”
Tinubu expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their patience and resilience, stating that the national economy has began 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 Nigeria and Nigerians,” he added.
President Tinubu joined the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis’s recovery and prayed that his renewed strength will continue to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
“I earnestly pray that the spirit of Easter 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.
“I urge 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.
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity.
“Happy Easter to all my fellow Nigerians,” President Tinubu added in the press release.
