The All Progressives Congress (APC) has implored Nigerians to avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations to imbibe the virtues of sacrifice and patience as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu takes some courageous and decisive steps to reposition the country for rapid economic growth.
In a Sallah message issued by its national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, the governing party felicitated with Nigerians, especially Muslim faithfuls noting that the Eid al-Adha, which is a feast of sacrifice, is symbolic.
The statement noted: “Eid al-Adha, otherwise known as Eid-el-Kabir or the Feast of Sacrifice, is a highly symbolic Islamic tradition and celebration that commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.
“Aside its significance of personal sacrifice, it also underscores Allah’s infinite capacity and willingness to divinely provide for mankind.
“This year’s celebration remarkably coincides with a period in our nation’s history when our dear President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is taking some courageous and decisive steps to reposition our beloved country for rapid economic growth and wholesome greatness in line with his administration’s Renewed Hope agenda.”
Calling for patience and sacrifice, the APC said, “We urge Nigerians to subscribe to the virtues of sacrifice and patience as we soldier on in our quest for a better Nigeria.
“We also enjoin our Muslim compatriots to continue to show compassion towards the needy and less-priviledged among us as they celebrate.”
