“I have given clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity decisively and without delay.
“With the unwavering courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability.
“We are also grateful to all Nigerians for your patience and resilience as our economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery.
“We understand the economic challenges many of you are facing, and we are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians.
“During this Easter, we join the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis’s recovery. We pray that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
“I earnestly pray that Easter’s spirit fills every heart and home with renewed faith in the immense possibilities ahead of us as a nation. Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.”
Tinubu, however, urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress.
He added: “The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths.
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity.”
