PMB is hosting Eid-el-Fitr homage this afternoon, at the State House #AsoVillaToday #EidMubarak

This is the first Eid homage to the President in 3 years; the last one took place on June 4, 2019. (And then Covid happened).
#AsoVillaToday

PMB speaking now at Eid Homage: “There is no denying the fact that Nigeria is facing security challenges, but we are strenuously tackling this monster.” #AsoVillaToday

PMB speaking now at Eid Homage, reminding of where FCT was in 2014/15: “Road barricades overran the Capital, & terrorists did not allow people carry on their normal lives. No place was off-limits, not UN HQ, not the Police HQ. Today the situation is no longer so.” #AsoVillaToday

Pres. Buhari speaking at Eid Homage: “My aim is to see all those in captivity safely rescued. We will ensure safe & quick recovery of all kidnapped victims of the Abuja-Kaduna Rail attack. The bandits are pushing their luck, but this is only for a while before they are crushed.”

President Buhari this afternoon, on the unfortunate Train attack in Kaduna: “Any rescue operation that results in the death of hostages cannot be deemed a success. We don’t want this to happen. We want to free the hostages safely, unharmed and alive.”
