President Bola Tinubu has called on Muslims across Nigeria to use the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations to pray for peace, prosperity, and national unity.
The message was conveyed on Thursday through a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. Tinubu urged Nigerian Muslims to rededicate themselves to the principles of Ramadan, which emphasise piety, empathy, and harmony among people.
“As Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Muslim faithful in Nigeria, urging renewed commitment to the nation and humanity,” the statement read.
“We have a lot to draw from the noble lessons of Ramadan, especially at a time like this. We must continue to abide by the virtues of piety, selflessness, perseverance, kindness and compassion beyond this period,” Tinubu added.
The President also encouraged Muslims to reach out to the needy, regardless of their faith, as a demonstration of unity and solidarity.
This call comes as the nation prepares to mark the end of Ramadan, a period of reflection, fasting, and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide.
