According to The Nation, in his statement the country leader reiterates his government's commitment to eliminating Boko Haram insurgency and adds that the sect's days are numbered.
An extract from the document delivered though the presidential spokesman Femi Adesina reads:
"Boko Haram's reign of terror in parts of the country will be finally over very soon as the ongoing military onslaught against the terrorist sect will continue relentlessly until total victory is achieved."
Buhari also ordered the army forces to ensure maximum protection during the celebrations.
Referring to the Nigerian Muslims who are currently in Saudi Arabia on Hajj, Buhari said:
"As they join the global Islamic community in celebrating Eid-El-Kabir, President Buhari urges Muslims and other Nigerians to rededicate themselves to a greater acceptance and internalisation of its lessons of piety, faithfulness, dedication, fortitude, obedience, sacrifice and selfless service which are for the benefit of all mankind.
"The President calls for more patience, fortitude, tolerance, endurance, patriotism and a greater willingness to make personal sacrifices for the good of all as his administration strives to lead the nation towards rapidly overcoming its current security, economic and developmental challenges.
"President Buhari assures all Nigerians that their safety, well-being and progress remain uppermost in his thoughts and actions, and that he will continue to work with all his might to deliver the positive changes in national life which they expect after his election and inauguration as Head of the Government of the Federation.
