As Muslim faithful celebrate the Eid-el-Adha today, President Bola Tinubu has appealed for tolerance and patience, noting that these were the essence of the season as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim.
“There is no greater sense of duty ever recorded in history outside the ennobling example of Prophet Ibrahim in offering his only son Ismail as a sacrifice to Allah,” the President stated in a message titled: ‘We must multiply out good deeds.’
The President said he was aware of the economic challenges and “simmering security challenges” weighing heavily on Nigerians at this time and affirmed that his administration was working to ease citizens’ burden and forge a better future. Also, the Christian Association of Nigeria, in a statement on Tuesday by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, felicitated Muslims on the occasion of the Eid celebration, “urging our Muslim brothers and sisters to use this occasion to pray for the peace and prosperity of our dear country.”
Also, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, joined a host of other prominent Nigerians to preach tolerance as the Muslim faithful across the globe celebrate Eid today.
