Former Vice President and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives<\/span>
Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has said that strict adherence to the<\/span>
procedure of due diligence before entering into contractual agreements is<\/span>
an imperative for the evolution of a progressive.<\/span>

The APC presidential hopeful in a goodwill message on the occasion of the<\/span>
Eid-el-kabir said the significance of the festival is a celebration of<\/span>
trust between man and God, rooted in the fulfilment of promises.<\/span>

The statement issued by his media office in Abuja on Friday quoted Atiku<\/span>
Abubakar as saying that trust is the foundation of the relationship<\/span>
between man and God and the two principal religions in Nigeria \u2013 Islam and<\/span>
Christianity \u2013 place premium on the need for people to fulfil the terms of<\/span>
agreements.<\/span>

“I rejoice with fellow Muslims across the country to celebrate the<\/span>
Eid-el-kabir festival. The significance of the celebration today is not in<\/span>
the blood or the flesh of the rams that are slaughtered,” the APC<\/span>
chieftain said adding “the message is for people to be honour bound to<\/span>
respect the terms of the promises made to other entities.”<\/span>

“As a society, we must place a premium on trust. Our greatness as a<\/span>
country is attainable only when government honours the promises it makes<\/span>
to the people. A leader who has a track record of reneging on every<\/span>
promise he makes cannot drive the process of change we desperately yearn<\/span>
for.<\/span>

“As a people too, we must be vigilant and thorough about the decisions<\/span>
that we take in conjunction with others. It is our responsibility to<\/span>
ensure that we enter into agreements with people of proven character and<\/span>
credibility. The prevailing mindset of placing trust on people based on<\/span>
primordial sentiments such as ethnic or religious considerations\u00a0 without<\/span>
recourse to due diligence is not healthy for the growth of individuals or<\/span>
nations,\u201d Atiku said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
