“At the moment, our country is going through some challenges, especially with our struggling economy and simmering security challenges.
“While I acknowledge all of these, I want to assure you that they are not insurmountable. I am working day and night with my team, fleshing out solutions.
“We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth.”
According to the Sallah message signed by the President, he called on the citizens to embrace the sense sacrifice as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim who demonstrated a greater sense of duty ever recorded in history.
He recalled Prophet Ibrahim’s offering his only son Ismail as sacrifice to Allah, saying that the best way “by which we can demonstrate this example is in how we conduct ourselves in relation to our fellow citizens and in our duties to our beloved country. “We must imbibe and manifest those values inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life, namely; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love and compassion.
“This season, let us endeavour to multiply good deeds with our kindness to our fellow Muslims and others by helping and supporting the weak and vulnerable in our communities. By so doing, we showcase the values and virtues of our faith.”
“As the nation embraces the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and Renewed Hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter.”
He also called on Nigerians to immerse themselves in the joy of this moment and celebrate, and that they should remember those who may not be as fortunate like them.
“Coming as the end of religious activities spanning the first ten days of the Islamic Month of Dhul Hijjah, Eid-el-Kabir enjoins us as Muslims to show mercy and compassion to our fellow humans.
“Eid-el-Kabir is a festival of sacrifice and total obedience to Allah as exemplified in the exceptional action of Prophet Ibrahim.
