“I want to appeal to you (Nigerians) not to despair despite the inconveniences you are experiencing. Hard times, they say, never last forever and your sacrifices can never be in vain as the government of President Bola Tinubu is in a hurry to make life enjoyable for every Nigerian.”
These are the words of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, in his message to Muslims who are observing Eid-El-Adha or big Sallah tomorrow, June 16.
A statement today, June 15, by Eseme Eyiboh, spokesperson to the Senate President, quoted him as assuring Nigerians that the 10th National Assembly under his leadership would work assiduously, in collaboration with President Tinubu, by providing the required legislative interventions for the growth of the nation and benefit of all Nigerians.
Senator Akpabio, who congratulated Muslims on the Eid-El-Adha festivity, reminded them that the moment signifies sacrifice and joy and advised them to make the necessary sacrifices for a better tomorrow.
According to him, the government of President Tinubu is not oblivious of the tough times Nigerians are going through, adding that the difficult reforms being instituted by the government are necessary to secure Nigeria for today and tomorrow.
“On behalf of my family, the people of Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, the Senate and the entire 10th National Assembly congratulate our Muslim faithful on the occasion of the important feast of Eid-el-Kabir. May Allah grant you a joyous and peaceful celebration.
“The government is not unaware of the difficulties experienced by Nigerians as a result of its reforms but these reforms are never to punish Nigerians but are meant to correct the mistakes of the past and make the country better and greater for the benefit of all.
“Even as you celebrate this all important feast of Eid-el-Kabir, we feel the pains of those of you who are struggling to meet up with their expected needs. We appeal to you be patient as the good days are not far away.”
The Senate President prayed that God will continue to bless President Tinubu with wisdom and the strength to deliver on his promises.
