Eid-el-Fitr: Saraki Urges Unity After Ramadan

The former senate president, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and across the world on the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan, urging citizens to remain hopeful and united despite prevailing challenges.

In his Eid-el-Fitr message, Saraki expressed gratitude to the Almighty Allah for granting the faithful the strength to observe the month-long fast and engage in acts of worship.

Saraki in a statement signed by his press officer on Local Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, noted that he spent the final days of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia performing the Umrah, where he offered prayers for peace, unity, and progress in Kwara State and Nigeria at large.

He acknowledged the current economic and social difficulties facing many Nigerians, but emphasised the need for resilience and collective optimism.

Saraki stated that the bond of unity among Nigerians remains stronger than the forces of division, expressing confidence that the country will witness better days ahead.

He also called on citizens to remember and pray for members of the armed forces and other security personnel who are serving the nation under challenging and often dangerous conditions, away from their families.

He prayed for their safety and for success in ongoing efforts to secure the country.
