The Sacrifice You Made To Vote Me Again Won’t Go In Vain, Buhari Assures

by Our Reporter
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed satisfaction at the conduct of
peaceful elections in Nigeria, despite what he called “doomsday
predictions of social disharmony.”

In his Sallah message to Nigerians to celebrate the end of the Ramadan
fasting season, President Buhari commended INEC for a good job despite
the initial difficulties and praised the voters for their tenacity and
strong faith in the democratic process.

“Before the 2019 general elections, prophets of doom didn’t give the
country a chance to conduct peaceful elections. Despite these fears, the
country overcame its political challenges.

“For abandoning their businesses in order to vote, the voters had
demonstrated great patriotism in coming out to exercise their civic
duty.

“Let me use this opportunity once again to reassure all Nigerians that
your sacrifices in voting for me won’t be in vain. I will ensure the
ordinary voters feel the positive impact of government,” the President
said.

Turning to the lessons of the Ramadan, President Buhari urged Muslims to
always put humanity before personal interests.

“The Ramadan period is meant to reinforce us spiritually, therefore, we
should use religion as an inspiration to do good at all times.

“The virtues of the Ramadan should be sustained beyond the celebration.
Going back to bad ways after the Ramadan might defeat the essence of the
message and lessons the fasting period was supposed to inculcate in the
hearts and minds of the Muslim faithful,” he said.

President Buhari also used the occasion to commiserate with victims of
terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in the country.

He reassured Nigerians that under no circumstances would criminals and
mass murderers be allowed to hold the country to ransom, saying their
days are numbered because this administration will pursue them
relentlessly and bring them to justice.
