President Bola Tinubu has urged the Muslim faithful to reflect on the significance of Eid-el-Kabir.
In a statement released in Abuja on Saturday, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, quoted President Tinubu as having congratulated the Muslim faithful and prayed that Allah would accept their supplications and acts of obedience.
The President emphasized the importance of reflecting on the essence of Eid-el-Kabir, which, he said, held great meaning and significance for the nation.
He noted that sacrifice and duty were essential ingredients to nation-building.
He said that “it takes collective purpose, will, and action to bring about great change.”
President Tinubu called on citizens to spare a prayer for the nation.
He urged them to seek continuous peace and stability while working towards promoting unity, peace, and progress.
The President acknowledged the sacrifices made by Nigerians over the past year, as his administration “works to set the nation on a firm pedestal of growth and development.”
He affirmed that the sacrifices and great expectations of citizens would not come to nought, “as propitious outcomes are beginning to manifest with the economy strengthening and vibrancy returning to critical sectors.”
The President reassured Nigerians that his administration prioritized their physical, social, and economic security and would not relent on this noble endeavour.
President Tinubu urged Nigerians to embrace the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir, “which represents sacrifice, faith, and obedience, and to work together towards building a greater nation.”
