President Bola Tinubu, alongside his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his deputy, Barau Jibrin; as well as several governors, joined millions of Muslim faithfuls in celebrating this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
In separate statements, these political leaders emphasized the significance of unity, love, and hope for all Nigerians during this important festivity.
Eid-el-Kabir, observed by Muslims worldwide, commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, in obedience to Allah. The celebration is marked by the ritual slaughter of rams and other animals, symbolizing devotion and sacrifice.
President Tinubu described this period as an opportunity for gratitude to Almighty Allah for His countless blessings upon individuals and the nation. He further urged reflection on the fundamental values of sacrifice, devotion, and selflessness that the season embodies.
Additionally, President Tinubu called for prayers for frontline officers who risk their lives daily to ensure the safety and security of the people. His wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, also extended her greetings to Muslims across the nation, wishing them a joyous and blessed Eid-el-Kabir. The occasion serves as a reminder for citizens to uphold the spirit of generosity and compassion in their daily lives.
