November 02, (THEWILL) – President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace unity, peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding, irrespective of their ethnic, religious and cultural differences, praying that the country’s diversity would become a source of prosperity, peace and sustainable development.
Tinubu made the appeal on Sunday in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, while hosting members of his delegation at a dinner, where he called for stronger bonds of brotherhood, patriotism and compassion among Nigerians.
The President also sought divine intervention for the country, praying for Allah’s guidance for its leaders and protection for Nigerians at home and abroad.
Tinubu Prays For Nigeria’s Unity, Prosperity
Nigeria is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country whose diversity has remained a major feature of its national identity. However, the country has continued to contend with communal tensions, religious disagreements and security challenges in different parts of the country, alongside efforts by successive administrations to strengthen national cohesion.
Speaking at the gathering, Tinubu prayed that Nigeria’s diversity would translate into national prosperity rather than division.
“May Almighty Allah bless Nigeria, convert our diversity into prosperity as a country”, he said.
The President also expressed confidence in Nigerians’ collective ability to overcome the country’s challenges, noting that its abundant human and natural resources, alongside the diverse talents and enterprise of its people, provided a strong foundation for inclusive growth.
He called for greater understanding and stronger bonds of brotherhood among citizens, irrespective of their ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, while urging Nigerians to remain committed to patriotism, compassion and peaceful coexistence.
