Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has congratulated all Muslim brothers and sisters in the country on the celebration of this year’s Eid el-Kabir.
In a statement by Abimbola Tooki, Special Adviser to the National Chairman of APC on Media and Information Strategy, Yilwatda described the occasion as a sacred festival of faith, sacrifice, obedience, love and devotion to Almighty Allah. He also called on the Muslim communities in the country to support the ongoing reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Professor Yilwatda noted that Eid el-Kabir remains one of the most significant celebrations in Islam, symbolising the virtues of selflessness, unity, compassion, tolerance and total submission to the will of God, as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
The APC national chairman stated that the spiritual lessons of the celebration are highly relevant to Nigeria at this critical stage of national development, stressing that sacrifice, patience, perseverance and collective responsibility are essential ingredients needed to build a stronger, more united and prosperous nation.
He urged Nigerians, particularly the Muslim Ummah, to continue to promote peaceful coexistence, national unity and harmony across ethnic, religious and political lines, adding that the Sallah celebration should further strengthen the bonds of love, understanding and brotherhood among citizens.
Professor Yilwatda also called on the Muslim community and Nigerians at large to continue to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and its ongoing reforms aimed at repositioning the country for sustainable economic growth, improved infrastructure, national security, job creation and long-term prosperity.
