Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has
urged Nigerians to be law-abiding at all times and restore the virtues
of good neighbourliness.
Tambuwal said these in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by his
Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mallam Imam Imam, on the
occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Tambuwal said for Nigeria to make progress, the citizenry at all
levels must be their brother’s keeper and be more sensitive to the
well-being of one another, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
According to him, all Nigerians must show commitment and readiness to make sacrifices toward the development of the nation.
He said that making sacrifice for the nation had become imperative
now more than ever before, considering the numerous challenges
confronting the nation.
The speaker added that while every nation on earth had peculiar
challenges confronting its people, the determination to tackle those
challenges at times sets some of them apart.
“We must face our problems with more commitment, determination, unity of purpose and the best of intentions,” he said.
He enjoined Muslim faithful to use the occasion to reflect on their spiritual lives.
“Let me use this opportunity to urge Nigerians, especially adherents
of the Islamic faith, to use the occasion to reflect on our spiritual
life as individuals and how we can contribute more meaningfully toward
making Nigeria the great nation envisioned by its founding fathers.”
