Eid el-Kabir: Yilwatda felicitates Muslims, urges backing for Tinubu’s reforms

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has extended warm greetings to Muslims across Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Eid el-Kabir, urging continued support for the reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda described Eid el-Kabir as a sacred festival embodying faith, sacrifice, obedience, love and devotion to Almighty Allah.

He noted that the celebration remains one of the most significant in Islam, symbolising the virtues of selflessness, unity, compassion, tolerance and complete submission to the will of God, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim.

According to the APC chairman, the spiritual lessons of the festival are particularly relevant at a critical stage in Nigeria’s development, stressing that sacrifice, patience, perseverance and collective responsibility are essential to building a stronger and more prosperous nation.

Yilwatda called on Nigerians, especially the Muslim Ummah, to continue promoting peaceful coexistence, national unity and harmony across ethnic, religious and political divides. He added that the Sallah celebration should further strengthen bonds of love, understanding and brotherhood among citizens.

He also urged citizens to support the administration of President Tinubu, noting that ongoing reforms are aimed at repositioning the country for sustainable economic growth, improved infrastructure, enhanced national security and job creation.

While acknowledging that the reforms may demand patience and shared sacrifice, Yilwatda maintained that they are necessary steps towards restoring economic stability, strengthening institutions and securing a better future for coming generations.

Expressing confidence in the administration, he said Nigeria would emerge stronger, more resilient and globally competitive under Tinubu’s leadership.

The APC chairman further appealed to Nigerians to use the Eid period to pray for the nation’s peace, unity and progress, as well as for wisdom and guidance for leaders at all levels.

He also prayed that Almighty Allah accepts the sacrifices and acts of worship of the faithful, granting peace, joy, good health and abundant blessings to all.

Yilwatda concluded by wishing Muslim faithful in Nigeria and across the world a peaceful and memorable Eid el-Kabir celebration.
