Mr. Peter Obi, a leading 2027 presidential hopeful, has urged Nigerian Muslims to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir with prayer and renewed optimism for the country’s future.
In a message shared on X, Obi extended “heartfelt greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and around the globe” as they observe the festival, which he described as embodying “enduring values of faith, sacrifice, obedience to God, compassion, and love for humanity.”
He asked that this year’s Sallah prayers focus on unity and hope for a renewed Nigeria.
Obi’s message underscores his outreach to the nation’s Muslim community, emphasizing shared values and the role of collective prayer in fostering national cohesion.
He urges further: “As we contemplate the deep lessons inherent in this solemn celebration, we are reminded of the importance of selflessness, tolerance, and dedication to the common good.
“These principles are particularly vital as our nation navigates this pivotal phase in its history. Nigeria possesses immense potential, yet it is currently burdened by avoidable challenges. The essence of Eid-el-Kabir reinforces the belief that fulfilment follows sacrifice. We must maintain our hope in the realisation of a functional, just, and productive nation where every citizen is included.
“During this sacred period, let us remember to pray for our security personnel on the frontlines, invoke wisdom for our leaders, and seek meaningful economic relief for the populace enduring the weight of our collective hardships. Additionally, let us recommit to fostering peace, mutual respect, and unity among various faiths and regions.
“May this Eid al-Kabir bring joy to our families, peace to our communities, and renewed hope to our beloved nation. I extend my best wishes for a blessed and joyous Eid al-Kabir celebration to all our Muslim brothers and sisters.
