''Stop ‘glorifying thieves’' President Buhari appeals to Nigerians

President Buhari has appealed to Nigerians to stop glorifying thieves
in the society. In his Sallah message to mark the end of the Ramadan
fast, President Buhari said thieves in the society must be treated
with disdain for bringing hardships to others.
''Selfishness and greed have overcome people's conscience so much that
they don't have moral inhibitions in the pursuit of their greed. I
always wonder why any true believer, be they politicians, civil
servants or businessmen, would seek to make profits from the
misfortunes of others''he said
While congratulating Muslims on the completion of their fast,
President Buhari urged them to reflect on the importance of Ramadan in
becoming good ambassadors of Islam at all times.
President Buhari enjoined religious leaders to always pray for peace
and unity in the country and avoid making inflammatory utterances that
endanger peace or promote conflicts.
The President also appealed to fellow citizens to forgive one another
and embrace peace.
In this respect, President Buhari lauded the families of recipients of
national honours for showing good examples to Nigerians and urged our
country men and women to copy their good examples.
He thanked Nigerians for their patience and assured that their
sacrifices will not be in vain, adding that reforming a country that
was pushed into near decay on account of corruption comes with
teething pains.
"But these pains are temporary, the APC administration which I am
privileged to lead, is beholden to the ordinary Nigerians and will
leave no stone unturned to make their security, welfare and happiness
our priority", the President further reassured.
