The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to embrace peaceful coexistence and support vulnerable and less privileged persons in society as Muslims across the world celebrate the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir.
Tinubu, in her Eid-el-Kabir message, admonished Muslims across Nigeria and in the diaspora to continue to strengthen the bonds of unity while working collectively toward a peaceful and prosperous society.
She stressed the importance of harmonious living among citizens, noting that the nation’s strength lay in unity, mutual respect and a shared commitment to fostering love and understanding.
She said that Eid-el-Kabir was a special time for reflection on the enduring values of sacrifice, obedience, faith and compassion.
Tinubu added that the celebration should serve as a reminder of the importance of selflessness and total devotion to the will of God.
“As we celebrate, I encourage all Nigerians to embrace peaceful coexistence and to live in harmony with one another.
“Our strength as a nation lies in our unity, mutual respect and shared commitment to building a society where love and understanding prevail.
“Let us also remember the essence of this day by extending a helping hand to our neighbours, especially the vulnerable and less privileged among us.
“These acts of kindness and generosity can renew hope and bring comfort to many.
“Let us continue to pray for our dear nation for sustained peace, stability and prosperity. Eid Mubarak,” she said.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
