Breaking: President Tinubu Extends Sallah Greetings to Nigerian Muslims [FULL TEXT]

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who returned to the country today following his diplomatic engagements in Paris and London, has conveyed warm Sallah Greetings to the Nigerian Muslim community.

THE PUBLISHER NIGERIA reports that the President called upon Nigerians to embrace the joyous occasion and celebrate, while also reminding them to reflect on the less fortunate among us.

 

Eid-el-Kabir, the President emphasised, is a festival that symbolizes sacrifice and unwavering obedience to Allah, as exemplified by the remarkable actions of Prophet Ibrahim. President Tinubu underscored that no historical account surpasses the noble example of Prophet Ibrahim, who demonstrated immense devotion by offering his beloved son, Ismail, as a sacrifice to Allah.

The full text of the message is as follows:

WE MUST MULTIPLY OUR GOOD DEEDS

I join Muslims in Nigeria and all over the world in observance of Eid-el-Kabir. We must thank Almighty Allah for the grace to witness another Eid.

As we immerse ourselves in the joy of this moment and celebrate, let us remember those who may not be as fortunate like us.

 

Coming as the end of religious activities spanning the first ten days of the Islamic Month of Dhul Hijjah, Eid-el-Kabir enjoins us as Muslims to show mercy and compassion to our fellow humans.

Eid-el-Kabir is a festival of sacrifice and total obedience to Allah as exemplified in the exceptional action of Prophet Ibrahim.

There is no greater sense of duty ever recorded in history outside the ennobling example of Prophet Ibrahim in offering his only son Ismail as sacrifice to Allah.

The best way by which we can demonstrate this example is in how we conduct ourselves in relation to our fellow citizens and in our duties to our beloved country. We must imbibe and manifest those values inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life, namely; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love and compassion.

This season, let us endeavour to multiply good deeds with our kindness to our fellow Muslims and others by helping and supporting the weak and vulnerable in our communities. By so doing, we showcase the values and virtues of our faith.

At the moment, our country is going through some challenges especially with our struggling economy and simmering security challenges. While I acknowledge all of these, I want to assure you that they are not insurmountable. I am working day and night with my team, fleshing out solutions. We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth. 

As we embrace the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and Renewed Hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter.

I wish you all a happy Sallah celebration. 

Bola Tinubu

President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
