JNI added that Eidul Adha is a significant festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the devotion and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim to Allah’s command, as well as his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail , as an act of submission and faith.
While noting that Allah would not burden the country with what it cannot bear, the president in a statement by his presidential spokesman, Dele Alake, said: ”I thank Almighty Allah for keeping us in good health till today and pray to Him to grant us robust health and prosperity. May our sacrifices turn to prosperity. We have to make the sacrifices and that is clear; we have to.
The president also used the occasion to pray for Nigerian troops at the frontlines in the fight against insurgency, saying it is his earnest desire and that of the nation that they emerge victorious. Speaking on behalf of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat felicitated Muslims across Nigeria and in the state on the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging them to unite behind President Tinubu in his determination to make the country better.
