President Bola Ahmed Tinubu joined Muslims in Nigeria and around the world in commemorating the 2023 Eid-el-Kabir.

Daily News 24 reports that the President thanked Allah for the blessing of another Eid in a statement he personally signed on Tuesday.

Tinubu urged Nigerians in a statement titled ‘We Must Multiply Our Good Deeds’ to remember those who may not be as fortunate to celebrate.

“As the end of religious activities spanning the first ten days of the Islamic Month of Dhul Hijjah, Eid-el-Kabir enjoins us as Muslims to show mercy and compassion to our fellow humans,” the President said.

“Eid-el-Kabir is a festival of sacrifice and total obedience to Allah, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim’s exceptional action.”

“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 sacrifice to Allah.

“The best way by which we can demonstrate this example is in how we conduct ourselves in relation to our fellow citizens and in our duties to our beloved country. We must imbibe and manifest those values inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life, namely; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love and compassion.

“This season, let us endeavour to multiply good deeds with our kindness to our fellow Muslims and others by helping and supporting the weak and vulnerable in our communities. By so doing, we showcase the values and virtues of our faith.

“At the moment, our country is going through some challenges especially with our struggling economy and simmering security challenges. While I acknowledge all of these, I want to assure you that they are not insurmountable. I am working day and night with my team, fleshing out solutions. We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth.

“As we embrace the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and Renewed Hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter.

“I wish you all a happy Sallah celebration.”
