Eid-el-Kabir: Pray for your leaders, Tinubu tells Nigerians
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has called on Muslims to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir by commemorating the act of complete faith in Allah and His instructions.
In his goodwill message, Tinubu enjoined Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria and around the world to celebrate but also dedicate themselves to greater adherence and obedience to the compassionate and spiritually nourishing commands of Almighty Allah.
“Celebrate yes, but let us not forget the poor and vulnerable among us. Reach out to give solace and succour to those unable to help themselves.
“Show brotherly concern and compassion to all. To be a good Muslim is to be a caring and generous human being.
“The challenges that we face as a nation call upon us to adhere even more closely to Allah’s commands so that we may overcome these challenges and continue to build the just and prosperous society destined for us,” he said.
This Eid, the APC national leader said “we must beseech Almighty Allah to protect the weak, feed the poor and give us the courage and wisdom to subdue and defeat those who would do violence and destruction to the innocent.”
He also prayed for the nation’s gallant soldiers and other security agents confronting “the agents of evil people.”
He called for prayers for the unity and stability of Nigeria, as well as President Muhammadu Buhari, the governors and other leaders so that they can continue to confront and surmount the challenges facing the country.
