Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed that his administration will eventually overcome terrorism and banditry across the country.
The President made the assurance in his Eid-el-Kabir message released on Tuesday, May 26.
In the statement, Tinubu acknowledged the persistent attacks by what he described as “heartless terrorists and bandits” on several communities, while assuring affected residents that they have not been abandoned.
“We will ultimately defeat all the forces of evil,” the President declared.
Tinubu also pointed to what he described as the gains of his administration’s economic reforms, maintaining that Nigeria has moved beyond a difficult phase.
“Just as sacrifice brings reward, I am happy that the sacrifices and efforts we have made over the past three years have yielded a more stable economy, making our country a preferred investment destination that will drive job creation and economic growth. The walk through the dark tunnel is over, and the light is here,” he said.
The President further highlighted recent security achievements, including the elimination of a wanted ISIS leader, expressing confidence that ongoing reforms would lead to improved security and expanded opportunities for Nigerians.
He described Eid-el-Kabir as a celebration that reflects the values of faith, sacrifice, obedience, compassion, unity, and selflessness among Muslims and humanity at large.
“As a nation, we are on a journey of reconstruction and renewal. The reforms we have undertaken are challenging but necessary to build a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for future generations,” Tinubu added.
