President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Muslims across Nigeria as they mark Eid-el-Fitr, which signals the end of the Ramadan fast. In his message released on Thursday, he called on Muslim faithful to pray for peace, unity, and progress in the country during the celebration period.
The President urged Muslims to continue living by the values they practiced during Ramadan, such as self-discipline, kindness, patience, and care for others. He advised that these qualities should not end with the fasting period but should remain part of their daily lives.
Tinubu also encouraged Nigerians of the Islamic faith to support one another and extend help to those in need, regardless of religion. He noted that showing love and compassion to others would help build stronger unity in the country.
He further reminded citizens of the importance of staying committed to the growth and stability of the nation, adding that collective effort is needed to achieve peace and development.
The message also served as a call for continued prayers for Nigeria, especially during the festive period, as people celebrate with family, friends, and communities.
