NEWYORK: New York Mayor Eric Adams hosted annual interfaith breakfast and thanked the people of different religious community on their arrival saying that the people of faith is going to navigate us through these turbulent times.
Addressing participants of the annual interfaith breakfast, Mayor Adams said that we sit here and look at this greatest display of faith in our communities from the Rastafarians who are here to our Jewish brothers and sisters to our Sikh, to our Muslims, to our Christian[s], greatest display of faith in this city.
On rumors about his stepping down, Mayor Adams said that one has to be of a great level of wisdom to understand what is playing out on the stage of politics in New York City.
“You got to focus on this, folks. How do you print a rumor that I’m resigning on Friday, but don’t print the facts that we had more jobs in the city’s history on that same day? Not one tabloid covered it,” he said.
Mayor said that people told him it was going to take him five years to turn around our economy but we did in three. He said that we brought down crime, built the housing and did all things they told us we couldn’t do the things.
“God knows my heart, God knows my journey, and God knows what I’ve stood for in this city and what I will continue to stand for,” he said adding that presence of the participants refortified him.
“There has never been a time in history that we did not have difficult times. But there’s always been a time in history where people of God stood up and made sure that those who were the least among us received the support and care,” he said.
