Godswill Akpabio, president of the Senate, congratulated Muslims on this year’s Eid-Kabir celebration and urged them to remember the season’s core values—love, obedience, and perseverance—while they rejoiced.
Akpabio asked Nigerians to abstain from resentment and animosity and to embrace the spirit of love, unity, and religion during the celebration in a statement released by his office’s Media Unit.
According to the statement, “It is only in a state of peace and tranquillity that governments at all levels would be able to get the country out of the current economic situation”.
Akpabio assured Nigerians that government at all levels were working round the clock to reduce the economic hardship currently being faced by the masses with the removal of fuel subsidy noting that ” the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is working with the relevant agencies to return the country to the path of greatness and prosperity.”
He charged Nigerians to continue to use the period to pray for the leadership of the country, saying, “The leadership of this country needs prayers and support from every one, without any regard for political, religious or ethnic leanings, because economic hardship does not recognise politics, religion nor ethnic divides. This is time all hands must be on deck to salvage the situation for the benefit of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.”
