Tinubu Mandates Compulsory Recitation Of National Pledge At All Official And Public Gatherings.
President Bola Tinubu has mandated the compulsory recitation of the National Pledge following the National Anthem at all official and public gatherings.
This directive aims to instill a profound reverence for national symbols, reinforce citizens’ loyalty to Nigeria, and safeguard the nation’s core principles.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 3,112 housing unit Renewed Hope City at Karsana, Abuja, on Thursday, the President emphasized the imperativeness of respecting national values, promoting the nation’s ideals, and abiding by its established norms.
“Before I left home this morning, I asked for a printout of the National Pledge, and we have to relaunch it again at this event.”
“The relaunch is about being committed to the values, greatness, and hope of our country. It is our pledge to Nigeria, our country, to be faithful, loyal, and honest.”
“To serve Nigeria with all your strength – we saw it on the field of play yesterday. We were all rejoicing. Every one of us loves victory. We love to win. When you are positive and you are hopeful, Nigeria is winning.”
“We did not say it will be Eldorado and smooth all the way. But we are confident that this country will excel in all ramifications.”
“We will defend our unity and uphold Nigeria’s glory in every way possible because we are Nigerians, and we have no other country,” President Tinubu said.
