Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians to pray for the country’s unity and growth while practising the virtues of sacrifice and forgiveness.
In his message to honour this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration, Senator Shettima offered the guidance.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, and other devout Muslims had joined the Vice President earlier to observe the Eid prayers at the National Eid Ground in Abuja.
In his Sallah message, Senator Shettima said, “This sacred day is an occasion to reflect on the mercy of Allah, as revealed through the gracious blessings bestowed upon Prophet Abraham and his son, Prophet Isma’il.
“These timeless lessons serve as a guiding light to humanity across generations, reminding us of the limitless trials our Creator presents to us in our path to redemption. In embracing these teachings, we find the moral inspiration to be the best versions of ourselves.
“May Allah accept our prayers and sacrifices and forgive our shortcomings. May Allah heal us from whatever afflicts us in our private lives and as a nation, and may this day bring forth enduring unity and progress to our beloved country. Ameen. Happy Eid-ul-Adha.”
