President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Muslim faithful in Nigeria on the occasion of the 2024 Eid-el-Kabir. 

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu said the sacrifices and great expectations of citizens will not be in vain.

The statement reads;

“President Bola Tinubu celebrates with the Muslim Ummah on the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, an event that denotes sacrifice, faith, and obedience to the will of the Almighty.

The President congratulates the Muslim faithful and prays that Allah accepts their supplications and acts of obedience. The President emphasizes that sacrifice and duty are essential ingredients to nation-building, noting that it takes collective purpose, will, and action to bring about great change.”

Tinubu also urged Muslims to pray for peace in the country while celebrating with their families.

“President Tinubu calls on citizens to spare a prayer for the nation for continuous peace and stability while working according to purpose in promoting unity, peace, and progress. The President acknowledges the sacrifices that Nigerians have made in the past one year as his administration sets the nation on a firm pedestal of growth and development,” the statement added

He, however, assured Nigerians positive outcomes of his reforms to ease the current hardships Nigerians are experiencing.

‘’President Tinubu affirms that the sacrifices and great expectations of citizens will not come to nought as already propitious outcomes are beginning to manifest with the economy strengthening and vibrancy returning to critical sectors. The President reassures Nigerians that his administration is prioritizing their physical, social, and economic security and will not relent on this noble endeavour.
