President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed warm felicitations to Nigerian Muslim brothers and sisters, as well as other faithful worldwide as they celebrate the glorious Eid-el-Kabir, the Festival of Sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Tinubu, who stated this in his goodwill message Tuesday, May 26, 2026, on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, also assured the citizens of better days ahead.<\/p>\n

The President also averred that current reforms, which his administration has “diligently pursued” would continue to yield improved security and greater opportunities for all Nigerians.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian leader said: “We give glory to Almighty God for preserving our lives to witness this important celebration once again.<\/p>\n

“Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the enduring virtues exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim\u2014faith, obedience, and the willingness to sacrifice for a higher purpose.”<\/p>\n

He further noted that the sacred festival calls on all Muslims, and indeed, all Nigerians and the whole of humanity, to embrace sacrifice, selflessness, unity, and compassion for our fellow human beings.<\/p>\n

“One central lesson of Eid-el-Kabir is the call to show mercy and compassion, regardless of race, ethnicity, or creed.<\/p>\n

“There is no greater example of duty and devotion than Prophet Ibrahim\u2019s willingness to offer his only son, Ismail, as a sacrifice to Allah,” stated the President.<\/p>\n

He observed that as a nation, Nigerians are on a journey of reconstruction and renewal.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said: “The reforms we have undertaken are challenging but necessary to build a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for future generations.<\/p>\n

“Just as sacrifice brings reward, I am happy that the sacrifices and efforts we have made over the past three years have yielded a more stable economy, making our country a preferred investment destination that will drive job creation and economic growth.”<\/p>\n

He also noted: “The walk through the dark tunnel is over, and the light is here.<\/p>\n

“I am confident that, by the Grace of God, the reforms we have diligently pursued will continue to yield improved security and greater opportunities for all.”<\/p>\n

The President stated: “I am aware that, despite the best efforts of our security and intelligence agencies\u2014including the recent elimination of a wanted ISIS leader\u2014heartless terrorists and bandits still attack some communities.<\/p>\n

“I assure you: you are neither abandoned nor forgotten. We will ultimately defeat all the forces of evil.”<\/p>\n

He said: “To our Muslim faithful, I urge you to use this sacred occasion to pray for our country, for peace in our communities, and for wisdom for those in leadership.<\/p>\n

“Let us pray that those who commit crimes among us may rethink and abandon their evil ways, or face the full weight of the law.<\/p>\n

“Let us also reach out to the less-privileged, share with our neighbours, and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood that unite us as one people.”<\/p>\n

Tinubu reassured Nigerians: “My administration remains committed to building a Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace, worship freely, and pursue their dreams without fear.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to invest in security, infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital to fulfil the great promise of our great nation.”<\/p>\n

He added: “On behalf of the government, I wish you all a peaceful, joyous, and blessed Eid al-Kabir.<\/p>\n

“May Allah accept our sacrifices and prayers, and may He continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”[<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
