A head of the ruler Congress of all progressives (APC), Amb. Abayomi Mumuni, congratulated the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and around the world for the commemoration of Eid al-Adha 1446 Ah Ah
In a press release signed by his media assistant, Mallam Rasheed Abubakar, the former candidate for governor in the state of Lagos took the opportunity of the festive season of preaching patience and hope in the administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Mumuni said that Nigeria's Muslims should especially learn the lessons of strong faith, the remarkable sacrifice and patience of the prophet Ibrahim in the midst of his judgment.
“As our country faces some turbulent times caused by important economic reforms of the federal government, I want us to be patient and hopeful for better days. Surely, there is light at the end of the tunnel. President Tinubu means well for the country and its citizens, and we can all see that in his words and actions in the last two years,” reads the statement.
“Although we have not seen the results we point out, I think we will get there. We still need to be more patients, hopeful and prayers. President Tinubu will not fail the Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, Aare Jagunmade de Lagos warned political scavengers heating politics due to personal interests. He said they are creating unnecessary distractions for the government when a complete approach is needed.
“Most Nigerian voters chose the government, and there is a pact with them. I call the political actors to allow the government to concentrate on the work of offering democratic dividends for people without distractions,” he said.
Mumuni also accused state governors to complement government efforts in the center through the implementation of policies and programs oriented to people at the subnational level.
The APC chief also expressed sincere sympathies to the people of the state of Niger about the recent devastating flood that charged many lives and destroyed properties in Mokwa.
He praised continuous efforts by federal, state and local governments to relieve the victims of the ugly incident and the solidarity that people have received so far.
However, he asked the state and local government authorities to generate resilience against the disaster of flooding in the future, noting that floods have become a perennial incident that wreaks havoc on people's lives.
“I am solidary with the people of the state of Niger in the devastating incident. That Allah consoles those who have lost loved ones and properties as a result of the disaster. It is imperative for the government to design mechanisms to protect against this in the future.”
