President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and some state governors have felicitated the Muslim Ummah at Eid-el-Fitr, urging Nigerians to use this occasion to rededicate themselves to nation building.
President Tinubu in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, greeted Muslim faithful in Nigeria and all over the world, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah.
Eid-el-Fitr is an auspicious occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan, a season which reflects total submission to God Almighty and to His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.
As the president emphasised during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, he appealed to all citizens to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation, stating: “We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire.”
The president prayed that the lessons, blessings, and the joys of this season will continue to abide with the people always while wishing Nigerians Happy Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State admonished Muslim faithful to sustain the lessons of sacrifice, discipline and love learnt during the period of Ramadan beyond this period.
