Aregbesola
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has enjoined the Federal government to act fast to bring the crisis rocking the North-East and other parts of the country to an end.
The governor said this in a statement in Osogbo on Wednesday to felicitate with the people of the state on the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir.
The governor enjoined all Nigerians to support the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying doing this would be in the interest of the nation.
He said, “With the drums of war and violence resonating in all corners of the world, Nigeria must do everything humanly possible to douse the tension in the North-East and other parts before it escalates into full-blown war and spread to other parts of the country.
“No nation can isolate itself from the current global crises, including social, religious, political, economic and hu
man which are daily staring us in the eyes.
“What we need as a matter of necessity is to have a clean break with the systems that have failed us or retarded our growth as a nation; rethink and chart a new course for our greatness.
“This is the fulcrum upon which President Muhammadu Buhari based his government. Nigerians in whatever capacity must identify with the new government and support it for the betterment of ourselves and the nation at large.”
“I call on Muslims in Osun and the entire Nigerian Muslim Ummah to seize the opportunity of the Eid to reach out to peoples of different faiths with greetings and messages of love and peace.
“Without peace and love, no nation unites and no nation attains greatness in an atmosphere of disunity, singing discordant tunes,” he added. .
