President Muhammmadu Buhari says reforming a nation like Nigeria, "pushed into near decay on account of corruption", comes with teething pains.

He, however, noted that these pains are temporary; saying the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration he was privileged to lead "is beholden to the ordinary Nigerians and will leave no stone unturned to make their security, welfare and happiness our priority."

The president said this on Friday night in his Sallah message to mark the end of the Ramadan period.

Buhari, according to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, thanked Nigerians for their patience and assured that their sacrifices would not be in vain.

President Buhari stressed the importance of putting the virtues of Islam into practice beyond the fasting season.

Congratulating Muslims on completing "this spiritually significant month of sacrifice", he urged them to reflect on the importance of Ramadan in becoming good ambassadors of Islam at all times.

The president said religion should be the moral compass for all believers in their public and personal lives,” adding that "if people allow the teachings of their religions to influence their conducts, problems such as corruption, which diverts public funds to private pockets, would have been eliminated in the society."

Buhari, regretted, however, that "selfishness and greed have overcome people's conscience so much that they don't have moral inhibitions in the pursuit of their greed."

According to him, "It is impossible to separate morality from religion, and removing this connection encourages corrupt leaders and other exploiters to commit atrocities against the society."

He said he always wondered why any true believer, be they politicians, civil servants or businessmen, would seek to make profits from the misfortunes of others.

President Buhari urged ordinary Nigerians to stop glorifying thieves by treating them with disdain for bringing hardships to others.

He enjoined religious leaders to always pray for peace and unity in the country and avoid making inflammatory utterances that endanger peace or promote conflicts.

The president also appealed to fellow citizens to forgive one another and embrace peace.

He, in this respect, lauded the families of recipients of national honours for showing good examples to Nigerians and urged our country men and women to copy their good examples.

You talk of "pains" when you are addressing the living.

Is he talking to those who are being killed across the country while his silence and inaction in addressing the problem gives the impression of official backing of the murderers?

This is another lie that govt keeps pushing to the gullible masses ...what has reforms got to do with pains ? Any reform that don't start showing working or yielding results in 3 years is not reform but reverse ..people open your eyes

"President Muhammmadu Buhari says reforming a nation like Nigeria, pushed into near decay on
account of corruption comes with teething pains."
Buhari have the mindset of a defeatist; always complaining or passing buck. Have he forgotten he was one of Nigeria's past & present leaders that have "pushed (Nigeria) into near decay on account of corruption"?
Nigeria must undergo a referendum, restructure or disintegrate.Anything less is just postponing the evil days.

Buhari, regretted, however, that "selfishness and greed have overcome people's conscience so much that they don't have moral inhibitions in the pursuit of their greed."


Quote of the day

Ethnic cleansing is painful.

Massacre of hundreds of people is painful.

Targeting Christian population for killings is painful.

Preference for cows over human beings is painful.

Taking away people's jobs and means of livelihood is painful.

Pushing aggressively to away people's land and water is painful.

These are not temporary pains.

These are cancerous pains, terminal pains.

His Reformation is selfish, fraudulent and autocratic.

See your Mr President, not even making any sense at all. He needs better speechwriters

PMB,we know that it's not easy,but you are building the Nigeria of our dreams.

We are solidly behind you
