Former Vice President and Chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar has
urged Nigerians not to despair or lose hope in the
country as the current economic recession will
soon give way to economic prosperity.
According to Atiku, while it might take some time
to get out of the current situation, so much need to
be done to achieve economic prosperity since a lot
of things were left undone for too long by the
nation’s past leaders.
In a Sallah message released by his media office in
Abuja, Atiku said Nigerians, particularly the
Muslim umma must learn to be their brothers
keepers.
While congratulating Muslims on the celebration of
the festival of Eid el-Kabir celebration, Atiku urged
them to use the opportunity to reflect on the
situation in the country and support themselves.
He said Nigerians should celebrate like other
people in the world in spite of the economic
situation facing the country, assuring them that
this storm will pass away.
He said the Sallah celebration calls for sober
reflection, prayers, cooperation and the display of
solidarity among Nigerians so that no one feels left
out.
He called on Nigerians to continue to work hard,
persevere and pray for the success of the policies
and measures being put in place by the APC
government of President Muhammadu Buhari to
restore the nation’s economy to good health and
improve the lives of the people.
