The politician specifically addressed the severe economic challenges in Nigeria, noting that the hardships have made daily survival difficult for many citizens. He emphasized that spiritual intervention must match community action during the holiday period.

My humble message to everyone is that we should continue to pray because we need God’s intervention at this critical moment in our nation.”
Dr Folahan further encouraged Muslims to uphold the teachings of love, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence during and after the celebration, stressing that national development can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace and unity.
