Lagos Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, urged Nigerians to refrain from speaking negatively about the country and instead to pray and wish it well for the benefit of all.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, represented by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, delivered the message at the 2024 Eid Mubarak Celebration, themed: “Allah will not Change the way of the people until they change what is in their heart,” organized by the First Family of the State, held at the Lagos House, Ikeja.
He said Nigerians need to change their thoughts and speak positively about the country, and that God won’t work wonders until the people opt to change their ways and their thoughts.
“Almighty God will not change anything for any society until they change what is in their mind. So the question is, what is in our mindset about our country? So our collective intent should be to keep praying for our country, keep praying for our leadership to do the right thing for our country and wishing our country well. That is when Allah will intervene in the present situation of our country, it is, therefore, important for us to desist from talking ill about the country,” the governor said.
He further urged the populace to have empathy and be nice and kind to one another, particularly in the present times of hardship as they needed to be there for one another.
