President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Nigerian Muslims and the global Muslim community on the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir.

He called for Nigerians' renewed commitment to the values of sacrifice, and national unity adding that "we are entering a new era of renewed hope and prosperity that we promised two years ago."

"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Nigerian Muslims and the global Muslim Ummah as we celebrate this year's Eid-el-Kabir," Tinubu said in a statement released Thursday, June 5, 2025.

Highlighting the spiritual significance of the occasion, the President noted, "Eid-el-Kabir represents the high point of the sacred first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, a period filled with opportunities for acts of worship and good deeds. It is a time for gratitude to Almighty Allah for His countless mercies upon us as individuals and a nation."

He reminded Nigerians that "while this festival is marked with joy and celebration, its true significance lies much deeper: Eid calls us to reflect on its core values of sacrifice, devotion, and selflessness."

He stressed that Eid also carries a civic message: "Eid-el-Kabir also reminds us of our responsibilities beyond faith: to show resilience, tolerance, compassion, and dedication to the progress of our beloved country. I reaffirm my commitment to these values and express my deep appreciation for the faith, patience, and perseverance Nigerians show as we implement bold reforms."

Reflecting on national progress, the President added, "Together, we have weathered challenging times and are approaching a brighter horizon."

He acknowledged that the path to recovery has been difficult: "Though the journey has not been easy, and some doubted our direction, the resilience of public and private sector leaders, along with the steadfast support of most Nigerians, is yielding results. I assure you that the toughest days are behind us. We are entering a new era of renewed hope and prosperity that we promised two years ago."

While acknowledging that challenges remain, Tinubu called for perseverance: "We may not yet be where we aspire to be, but I urge all Nigerians not to lose hope. Let us hold on to our faith and persevere. Our reforms are gaining traction, with key economic indicators now moving in a positive direction. Soon, all will feel the benefits."Nigerian cultural tours

He emphasised that economic policies are designed with people in mind: "The ultimate objective of these reforms is not just to improve statistics but to transform lives and set Nigeria firmly on the path to sustainable development. There are no quick fixes, but we are committed to repairing the foundations of our economy once and for all."

Reassuring citizens of continued efforts, Tinubu said, "Our administration will continue acting in the nation's best interest, ensuring that the gains we are recording translate into improving people's lives."

He reaffirmed commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda: "We crafted our Renewed Hope Agenda to bring prosperity to every Nigerian, and we remain steadfast in our pursuit of it. As we celebrate today, remember that Eid-el-Kabir enjoins love, compassion, and generosity for all, regardless of faith or background. Let us care for one another's well-being during this season and always."Nigerian cultural tours

Turning to recent national events, Tinubu expressed sorrow over the flooding in Niger State: "In this instance, I recall recent sad developments in our country, particularly the Wednesday, May 28 heavy flooding, which submerged the market town of Mokwa, Niger State, causing deaths and destruction of properties and creating an untold humanitarian crisis. Let us pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives and fortitude for their relations. Let us join hands with the government to bring succour to the people of Mokwa."

He concluded with a call for national prayer and unity: "Finally, as we observe this Eid, let us continue our prayers for our front-line officers, who risk their lives for our safety and security."Nigerian cultural tours

"Let us pray for our leaders at all levels and our country. Let us pray for peace in our tumultuous world of troubles and uncertainties. Let us dedicate this sacred celebration to seeking God's guidance and blessings for our country."

The Eid-El-Kabir celebration is scheduled for Friday, June 6, while the government declared June 6th and 9th as public holidays.

Once upon a time in Nigeria, the people worried about their future. Many felt that their leader, President Bola Tinubu, was not a good person. They believed he only cared about himself and not about the citizens of the country. As time passed, more and more citizens started to feel that he was making fun of them, ignoring their needs and dreams.................
