By Aviashima Toom, Abuja 

 The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda,, has congratulated Muslims across Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Eid el-Kabir celebration, urging them to support the ongoing reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda described Eid el-Kabir as a sacred festival that symbolises faith, sacrifice, obedience, love and devotion to Almighty Allah.

He noted that the celebration remains one of the most significant events in Islam, reflecting the virtues of selflessness, unity, compassion, tolerance and complete submission to the will of God, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim.

According to the APC chairman, the lessons of Eid el-Kabir are particularly relevant to Nigeria at a critical stage of its national development, stressing that sacrifice, patience, perseverance and collective responsibility are essential for building a stronger, united and prosperous country.

Yilwatda called on Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, to continue promoting peaceful coexistence, national unity and harmony across ethnic, religious and political divides. He added that the Sallah celebration should further strengthen the bonds of love, understanding and brotherhood among citizens.

The APC chairman also appealed to Nigerians to support President Tinubu’s ongoing reforms, which he said are aimed at repositioning the country for sustainable economic growth, improved infrastructure, enhanced security, job creation and long-term prosperity.

While acknowledging that the reforms may demand patience and shared sacrifice, Yilwatda maintained that they are necessary steps towards restoring economic stability, strengthening institutions and securing a brighter future for future generations.

He expressed confidence that under Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria would emerge stronger, more resilient and economically competitive among nations of the world.

Yilwatda further urged Nigerians to use the Eid celebration to pray for the peace, unity, security and progress of the country, as well as for wisdom and divine guidance for leaders at all levels.

He also prayed that Almighty Allah accepts the sacrifices, prayers and acts of worship of Muslim faithful, while wishing them a peaceful, prosperous and memorable Eid el-Kabir celebration.
