President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged a safer and more secure Nigeria in his Easter message, reaffirming his administration’s dedication to combating terrorism, banditry, and other security challenges.
Addressing Nigerians at home and abroad, President Tinubu recognised that, despite the sacrifices of the Armed Forces and security agencies, threats persist. He emphasised that his government is supplying the necessary resources and building international partnerships to enable decisive action against criminals.
“Despite the good efforts of the administration and the gallant efforts of our men and women of the Armed Forces who leave behind their families to confront the evil actors in our land, challenges to our security have remained. However, my administration continues to make resources available and forge foreign partnerships to enable us to deal decisive blows to the agents of terror and banditry,” he said.
He recalled his condolence visit to Jos, Plateau State, following a deadly attack, noting that security leaders had provided assurances of progress and that international support is being mobilised.
“To other parts of the country also enduring one form of insecurity or the other, rest assured that concerted efforts are already yielding breakthroughs,” he added, urging citizens to support lawful initiatives, remain united, and reject forces that threaten peace.
On Easter, President Tinubu highlighted the season’s message of sacrifice, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness, linking it to Nigeria’s current economic and security challenges.
“Easter gives us the encouragement and confidence that, even as present conditions still put pressure on many of our people, economic indicators show we are making the right choices. A new dawn is on the horizon,” he said.
He further encouraged Nigerians to remain hopeful and steadfast, emphasising that the administration’s ongoing reforms, though challenging in the short term, are designed to deliver shared prosperity and national renewal.
“As the nation gradually approaches another electoral cycle, this season also serves as a call to civic duty and maturity. The Electoral Act must guide the conduct of our political parties and political actors. Let our choices be guided by a shared commitment to peace, continuity, stability, and the long-term good of our country. Democracy flourishes where responsibility, restraint, and informed participation prevail,” he added.
Concluding his message, President Tinubu urged citizens to keep faith in the administration’s vision.
