President Muhammadu Buhari had admitted that 2020 was one of the most trying years for Nigeria but remained thankful for the start of another year.

Speaking in his New Year message to Nigerians on Friday morning, about how the COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a massive blow to the world. He said “While acknowledging that 2020 was a very tough year, we saw this year put to test our national resilience and ability to survive these tough times and also gave renewed hope that we will again brave any storms that lay ahead in 2021 and beyond,”

But for the resilient spirit of Nigerians, Buhari argued, the challenges of 2020 would have been way too much for the country.

The 78-year-old Nigerian leader who recalled that many pundits did not believe the country would survive when it got independence from Britain in 1960, also mourned the passing away of some Nigerians in the past year.

“Yet, here we are, 61 years by the next anniversary in October, and not only are we here, we are standing tall in the comity of nations as one country united under the will of God and also actively growing that indivisible Nigerian spirit that has enabled us, year after year, decade after decade, to weather all stormy waters and emerge stronger and better where others have fallen and disintegrated. This nation, this Nigeria will survive and thrive,” Buhari added.
