President Bola Tinubu, members of the National Assembly and state governors, among others on Tuesday preached hope and called for a unified effort from all Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, towards building the nation.
The country leaders in the separate messages felicitated the Muslim faithful as they marked the end of the Ramadan fasting.
The Federal Government had declared Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as public holidays to mark the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, declared Wednesday as the first day of Shawwal.
President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed Tinubu’s Eid message in a statement he signed Tuesday titled ‘President Tinubu greets the Muslim Ummah at Eid-el-Fitr, calls for a union of will and action to build the nation.’
“We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire,” Tinubu said in his maiden Eid-el-Fitr message as President.
Ngelale noted that the President “felicitates the Muslim Ummah at Eid-el-Fitr, an auspicious occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan; a hallowed season which reflects total submission to God Almighty and to His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.
“The President greets the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and all around the world, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah.”
