Nigerians have been urged to carry forward the lessons of Ramadan by embracing unity, kindness, justice, and fairness in their daily lives as they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the All Progressives Congress Chairman on Media and Communications Strategy, Mr. Abimbola Tooki, the National Chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, made the call, noting that at a time when the nation faces complex challenges, the spirit of sacrifice and collective responsibility fostered during Ramadan remains vital.
In his Eid message, Yilwatda extended warm felicitations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, members of the Federal Executive Council, the National Assembly, APC leadership, and Muslim faithful across the country.
He described Ramadan as a sacred period of reflection, discipline, compassion, and devotion to Almighty Allah, adding that the values demonstrated during the holy month are essential for both spiritual growth and national development.
“Over the past month, millions of faithful have demonstrated unwavering commitment to the values of faith, patience, and selflessness. These virtues are not only essential to our spiritual growth but are also foundational to nation-building,” he noted.
The APC chairman commended President Tinubu for his leadership and resilience, urging Nigerians to support ongoing efforts aimed at economic stability, national cohesion, and sustainable growth.
He also offered prayers for the nation, seeking divine guidance, strength, and good health for the President and other leaders, as well as success for the armed forces and security agencies.
Reaffirming the APC’s commitment to good governance and inclusive development, Yilwatda said the party would continue to support policies that improve citizens’ welfare and strengthen democracy.
He prayed for Allah’s acceptance of the fasting and acts of worship by Muslims, wishing all faithful peace, joy, and abundant blessings.
