Former President, Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to unite and stand behind leaders at all levels, describing the current period as a pivotal moment for democracy.
In a Sallah message made available to newsmen on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, the former President emphasised the importance of supporting leaders—from local government officials to those at the national level—as they work towards transforming the nation’s development landscape.
Speaking to journalists in Daura, shortly after observing the Eid prayer on Wednesday morning, Buhari congratulated fellow Muslims on the successful completion of the 30-day Ramadan fasting and the performance of the Eid, and urged “all citizens to support our leaders from the local government level to the highest at the centre in their efforts to transform the development landscape of the nation.
“Support for our leaders is a vote for a better tomorrow.
“It is imperative that we stand united in safeguarding the sovereignty and integrity of our nation.”
He called on contestants to political offices to always ensure a smooth succession from one administration to another without stoking communal tensions and obstructing development.
Buhari expressed his appreciation to the people of Daura, his hometown, and the state in general for giving him a warm welcome.
He expressed his happiness at being in the midst of his people after he finished his term as president.
