Earlier on Tuesday, President Tinubu felicitated the Muslim Ummah over Eid-el-Fitr, an auspicious occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan, a hallowed season which reflects total submission to God Almighty and to His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.
The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, greeted the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and all around the world, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah.
As he emphasised during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, President Tinubu appealed to all citizens to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation, stating: “We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire”.
The President prayed that the lessons, blessings, and the joys of this season abide with us always while wishing Nigerians, Happy Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
