Recession Will Make Nigeria Stronger, Buhari Says

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja
said that Nigeria will emerge better and stronger from
its current economic recession .
Buhari stated this in a message to the 7th National
Prayer Breakfast.
The President, who was represented by the Secretary
to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr
Babachir Lawal, said leaders in the country must strive
to be a light to the people they lead.
“As leaders, we must strive to be the light of the
world, we must resist talking about our current socio-
economic situation with despondency.
“As for me, I have complete faith that Nigeria will
emerge from this crisis strong, united, prosperous and
secured.
“I believe that all these will come to fruition in the
lifetime of this government, the lifetime of this
executive, legislature and the judiciary,” Buhari said.
In a sermon, Rev. Abu Banko defined a politician as a
model for all citizens, adding that a politician must be
ready to give not steal from the nation.
According to him, a politician should also be ready to
promote the general welfare of the people and help
raise their standard of living.
Banko, therefore, urged all public office holders,
including civil servants, lawmakers and those in the
executive, to lead Nigeria to its destiny.
He prayed God to guide them steer the affairs of the
nation with love, humility and sacrifice. Banko urged
all Nigerians to be humble, turn away from sins and
seek the face of God, so as to end current problems in
the country.
