The Federal Government has felicitated with Muslim faithfuls across Nigeria and the world on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, recently had its say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Describing Eid al-Adha as a sacred season that reflects the timeless example of faith, obedience, and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (AS), he urged citizens to uphold the virtues of sacrifice, compassion and national solidarity as Nigeria continues its march toward peace and prosperity.

He concluded by calling on Nigerians to use the occasion to deepen national unity and strengthen peaceful coexistence across ethnic, religious and political lines.

His words, “Eid al-Adha is a season that calls for reflection, unity, tolerance, and renewed commitment to the values that bind us together as one nation.

I encourage Nigerians to use this period to extend love and support to the less privileged, promote peaceful coexistence, and strengthen the spirit of national unity.”

WOW.
