Atiku at Sallah, charges Nigerians on due diligence

Former Vice President and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives

Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has said that strict adherence to the

procedure of due diligence before entering into contractual agreements is

an imperative for the evolution of a progressive. The APC presidential hopeful in a goodwill message on the occasion of the

Eid-el-kabir said the significance of the festival is a celebration of

trust between man and God, rooted in the fulfilment of promises.

The statement issued by his media office in Abuja on Friday quoted Atiku

Abubakar as saying that trust is the foundation of the relationship

between man and God and the two principal religions in Nigeria – Islam and

Christianity – place premium on the need for people to fulfil the terms of

agreements. “I rejoice with fellow Muslims across the country to celebrate the

Eid-el-kabir festival. The significance of the celebration today is not in

the blood or the flesh of the rams that are slaughtered,” the APC

chieftain said adding “the message is for people to be honour bound to

respect the terms of the promises made to other entities.”

“As a society, we must place a premium on trust. Our greatness as a

country is attainable only when government honours the promises it makes

to the people. A leader who has a track record of reneging on every

promise he makes cannot drive the process of change we desperately yearn

for. “As a people too, we must be vigilant and thorough about the decisions

that we take in conjunction with others. It is our responsibility to

ensure that we enter into agreements with people of proven character and

credibility. The prevailing mindset of placing trust on people based on

primordial sentiments such as ethnic or religious considerations  without

recourse to due diligence is not healthy for the growth of individuals or

nations,” Atiku said. The post Atiku at Sallah, charges Nigerians on due diligence appeared first on Pointblank News .
