I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Nigerian Muslims
and the global Muslim Ummah as we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
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.
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.
To truly honour Eid, we must embody these virtues, just as
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) exemplified complete submission to Allah’s will and as our
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has taught us. Let this sacred occasion renew our
commitment to these ideals.
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. Together, we have weathered challenging times and are
approaching a brighter horizon.
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.
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.
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. Our administration will
continue acting in the nation’s best interest, ensuring that the gains we are
recording translate into improving people’s lives.
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.
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.
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.
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.
May those who have more remember those in need, sharing kindness
and support as true brothers and sisters. Let the virtues of perseverance,
sacrifice, loyalty, faith, and shared humanity bind us closer.
May the joy and blessings of Eid-ul-Adha multiply in our
lives and the life of our great nation.
May Almighty Allah accept our worship and devotion as acts
of Ibadah, and may His blessings be with us always.
