National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has felicitated all Muslims across the country on the completion of the holy month of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.

Yilwatda, in a statement by his special adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, said Ramadan is not merely a period of abstinence but a sacred journey of the soul—a time of deep reflection, sacrifice, discipline, compassion, and renewed devotion to Almighty Allah.

“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.

Similarly, the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, extended his heartfelt congratulations to all Muslims in Nigeria and around the world on the successful completion of their month-long fast and prayers, culminating in Eid-el-Fitri.

In Sallah greetings signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu wished all Muslims peace, prosperity and unity.

He enjoined them to continue reflecting on the values of sacrifice, compassion, resilience, and optimism, assuring them that the government is working tirelessly to address the nation’s challenges.

Kalu, who represents Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State, also said that the parliament remains committed to legislative actions that will enhance the living standard of the people.

He charged the Islamic faithful to keep imbibing the teachings of Prophet Mohammed (SWT) and continue praying for unity and peace in the country.

“Warm Sallah greetings to all Muslims. As we celebrate this joyous occasion, I extend my heartfelt wishes for peace, prosperity, and unity.

“Let us reflect on the values of sacrifice, compassion, and resilience that define our great nation. As we face economic challenges, let us remain steadfast and optimistic. The dawn of a brighter tomorrow is near.

“The government is working tirelessly to address the nation’s challenges, while the parliament remains committed to legislative actions that drive economic growth, create opportunities, and improve the well-being of all Nigerians. The parliament stands firmly behind initiatives and policies that will move our economy forward.
