The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has congratulated Muslims on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging them to continue embracing unity for the betterment of Nigeria.
Obi, in his congratulatory message to the Muslims on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, stated that the celebration is a season to be compassionate to one another and charged leaders to prioritise the people and be accountable.
He wrote: “As our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate Eid al-Adha, I join them in thanking Almighty Allah for the grace of sacrifice, unity, and peace that this sacred occasion represents. This solemn festivity reminds us of the enduring power of faith, obedience, and selflessness.
“This celebration is also a time for deep reflection on the values that bind us as a people – compassion, justice, and a shared responsibility for one another, especially the most vulnerable in our midst.
“May it especially be an opportunity for our leaders at all levels to reflect on the noble virtues of leadership – sacrifice, accountability, humility, and service – and apply them becomingly in the discharge of public duty.”
The former Anambra State Governor wished all Nigerians a peaceful and joyful Sallah, praying that “May this season renew our collective hope, strengthen our unity, and inspire us all to work toward a better, more inclusive Nigeria. Eid Mubarak!”
