President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to support the government’s efforts at piloting the nation through the current challenges by being patriotic, patient and offering prayers.

President Tinubu made the call in his Eid-el-Maulud message to Nigerians, assuring that the chances are bright for the country as the current bleak winds up.

This was made known in a statement issued by his special adviser on media and publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

He said the president also urged religious leaders to use the period to pray for the country and to admonish their followers to take the appropriate lessons from Prophet Muhammad’s life in their commitment to the country.

The president, thereafter congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and beyond on this year’s Maulud celebration, charging them to live by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

The Federal Government has declared tomorrow, Wednesday, 27th September 2023, as a public holiday to mark the solemn event.
