Mohammed
made the appeal on Tuesday in a Sallah message delivered at a media briefing at
his home town, Oro, near Ilorin in Kwara State.
“The year
2019 is the year of decision for Nigeria.
“It is the
year that the critical decision will be made as to whether Nigeria will
continue along the path of development, in all ramifications (social, economic,
political, etc), that this administration has embarked upon since 2015, or the
country will retrogress and backslide to the throes of massive and primitive looting
and lack of development.”
Mohammed
appealed to Nigerians to be vigilant and not yield the space to naysayers,
adding that the gains made by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration in
the past three years must be preserved.
“Nigeria
must continue on its present trajectory to sustainable growth and development.
Never again must we go back to Egypt,” he admonished.
The minister
thanked Nigerians for their perseverance and support for the Buhari
administration and gave an assurance that their sacrifice for the nation would
not be in vain.
He expressed
optimism that with the support of the people, the 2019 elections would be a
walkover for Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress.
