Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), extended warm Eid el‑Kabir greetings to Muslim communities across Nigeria, calling the festival a sacred time of faith, sacrifice and devotion to Almighty Allah.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda described Eid el‑Kabir as one of Islam’s most important celebrations - an occasion that embodies selflessness, unity, compassion, tolerance and submission to God, as modeled by Prophet Ibrahim.
The APC leader said the spiritual lessons of the festival are especially relevant to Nigeria at this pivotal moment in its development. He emphasized that sacrifice, patience, perseverance and collective responsibility are vital to building a stronger, more united and prosperous nation.
Yilwatda also appealed to the Muslim ummah to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ongoing reforms, and urged all Nigerians to promote peaceful coexistence, unity and harmony across ethnic, religious and political divides.
He said the Sallah festivities should deepen 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.
According to him, while the reforms may require patience and shared sacrifice, they are necessary steps towards restoring economic stability, strengthening institutions and securing a brighter future for generations yet unborn.
The APC National Chairman expressed confidence that under the leadership of President Tinubu, Nigeria will emerge stronger, more resilient and economically competitive among the comity of nations.
He further appealed to Nigerians to use the Eid celebration to offer fervent prayers for the peace, unity, security and progress of the country, as well as for wisdom and divine guidance for leaders at all levels.
Professor Yilwatda prayed that Almighty Allah accepts the sacrifices, supplications and acts of worship of all the faithful, and grants every family peace, joy, good health and abundant blessings during and after the celebration.
He wished all Muslim faithful across Nigeria and beyond a peaceful, prosperous and memorable Eid el-Kabir celebration.
