Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, on Thursday urged Nigerians to pray for President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Tinubu said Nigerians should continue to pray for Buhari and
those in government for wisdom and guidance to move Nigeria forward.
He made the appeal in his message to Muslims ahead of the
Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
The message signed and forwarded by his Media
Aide, Tunde Rahman reads partly: “It is in this spirit that I ask all Nigerian
Muslims to observe this Eid with caution and utmost respect.
“As Muslims, we are taught to respect the law. Thus, as we
celebrate, we must observe all public health measures recommended by the
authorities such as wearing facemasks and avoiding large gatherings. We do this
not for ourselves but for the benefit of others.
“During the days ahead, reflect upon this unusual time in
which we have found ourselves, pray to Allah to pull us out of this situation
but also ask Him how you may help a relative, a family member or even a
stranger who may be in greater need than you are.
“We must pray that Almighty Allah lend wisdom and guidance
to President Buhari and all those in government that they may continue to work
to move our nation forward.”
The former Lagos State Governor also advised Muslims to show
empathy and be generous during the celebrations.
He said: “It is our responsibility as Muslims to empathize
with our fellow human beings, to offer a hand of fellowship and comfort such
that no one may feel alone and abandoned as if the entire world has turned its
back against them.
“The greatest gift we can render at this moment is a touch
of simple human kindness, an act of generosity that seeks no reward other than
itself. I pray for a better future, one free of all forms of pestilence and
ills. We get there if we listen to Almighty Allah and if we love one another as
members of the same national family.”
