Tinubu noted that the government has taken all necessary measures to make the country secure and economically viable.

The President assured that the light would certainly be bright at the end of the tunnel.

Tinubu pleaded with Muslims celebrating the Maulud festival to extend their hand of fellowship to the vulnerable persons in the spirit of the season, just as he prayed for the country and leaders at all levels.
