Special Interview: Buhari Sends 'Strong Message' To Nigerians Calling Him 'Baba Go Slow'

President Muhammadu Buhari has praised the Nigerian electoral body (INEC) for a good job despite the initial difficulties at the polls

Naija News learnt the president made his feelings known in his Sallah message to Nigerians to celebrate the end of the Ramadan fasting season.

The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu who released the statement in Abuja said that Before the 2019 general elections, prophets of doom didn’t give the country a chance to conduct peaceful elections. Despite these fears, the country overcame its political challenges.

“For abandoning their businesses in order to vote, the voters had demonstrated great patriotism in coming out to exercise their civic duty.

“Let me use this opportunity once again to reassure all Nigerians that your sacrifices in voting for me won’t be in vain. I will ensure the ordinary voters feel the positive impact of government,” the President said.

Turning to the lessons of the Ramadan, President Buhari urged Muslims to always put humanity before personal interests.

“The Ramadan period is meant to reinforce us spiritually, therefore, we should use religion as an inspiration to do good at all times.“The virtues of the Ramadan should be sustained beyond the celebration. Going back to bad ways after the Ramadan might defeat the essence of the message and lessons the fasting period was supposed to inculcate in the hearts and minds of the Muslim faithful,” he said.

President Buhari also used the occasion to commiserate with victims of terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in the country.

He reassured Nigerians that under no circumstances would criminals and mass murderers be allowed to hold the country to ransom, saying their days are numbered because this administration will pursue them relentlessly and bring them to justice.
