National Leader of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has congratulated all
Muslim faithful across the country and the world on the occasion of the
celebration of Eid-ul-Adha.
He urged Nigerians to be ready to
make sacrifice for the development of the country in the spirit of the
festival.
In a statement on
Saturday, the former Lagos governor also prayed for the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that the President’s APC-led government has
set the country on an irreversible path towards a broad and inclusive
political, social and economic development for the benefit of all Nigerians.
The statement released by
Tinubu’s Media Office in Lagos and signed by Tunde Rahman, reads; “To mark the
Eid ul-Adha faithfully, we must abide by what it embodies-sacrifice and
selflessness.
“It is a time for celebration but
we must celebrate in the spirit of submission to the will of Allah exemplified
by Prophet Ibrahim’s rare example.
“Like Prophet Ibrahim, let us be
ready to make sacrifices for the well being of Nigerians and development of the
country.”
While observing that Eid ul-Adha
should be a day of joy and happiness, Tinubu counselled all Muslims, indeed all
Nigerians of faith, to show tenderness and love to fellow Nigerians, their
friends and neighbours, remarking that “as we devote ourselves to the will of
God, so too should we be devoted to the health and well-being of our fellow
man.
“May the joy of Eid ul-Adha be
multiplied many folds in our lives and the life of our great nation. May the
blessings of Almighty Allah be with us all forever.”
