Nigeria\u2019s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, yesterday called on Nigerians to embrace peaceful coexistence and extend charity to the less privileged as the country marks Eid-el-Kabir today.<\/p>\n
Senator Tinubu said the nation\u2019s strength lies in its unity, mutual respect, and shared commitment to building a compassionate society.<\/p>\n
In her message to Muslim faithful across Nigeria and in the diaspora on the occasion of the Eid el-Kabir celebration, the First Lady described the day as a special time for reflection on the enduring values of sacrifice, obedience, faith, and compassion.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we celebrate, I encourage all Nigerians to embrace peaceful coexistence and to live in harmony with one another.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur strength as a nation lies in our unity, mutual respect, and shared commitment to building a society where love and understanding prevail,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Mrs Tinubu emphasised the spirit of giving that defines the occasion, urging Nigerians to translate the day\u2019s spiritual lessons into tangible acts of kindness toward those around them.<\/p>\n
She appealed, \u201cLet us also remember the essence of this day by extending a helping hand to our neighbours, especially the vulnerable and less privileged ones among us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese acts of kindness and generosity can renew hope and bring comfort to many.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also called on Nigerians to sustain prayers for the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us continue to pray for our dear nation, for sustained peace, stability, and prosperity,\u201d the First Lady said, closing with an Eid Mubarak greeting to all Muslim faithful.<\/p>\n
Eid el-Kabir, also known as Eid al-Adha, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God before God intervened and provided a ram as a substitute.<\/p>\n
The occasion is marked by prayers, the slaughter of rams and other livestock, and the distribution of meat to family members, neighbours and the poor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
