On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu urged all Nigerians, especially the Muslim community, to work together to develop the nation.
Tinubu said in his first Eid-el-Fitr message as President to mark the end of Ramadan, "We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire."
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed Tinubu’s Eid message in a statement on Tuesday titled ‘President Tinubu greets the Muslim Ummah at Eid-el-Fitr, calls for a union of will and action to build the nation.’
Ngelale noted that the President congratulates the Muslim Ummah at Eid-el-Fitr, an important occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan; a sacred time that reflects complete submission to God Almighty and to His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.
“The President greets 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 Tinubu emphasized during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, he further 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 prays that the lessons, blessings, and the joys of this season abide with us always while wishing Nigerians, Happy Eid-el-Fitr celebrations,” the statement concluded.
