The speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has extended warm felicitations to Muslims in Lagos and across Nigeria on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir.

Mr Obasa congratulated Muslims in a statement on Wednesday. He described the festival as a season of sacrifice, reflection, and gratitude, urging the faithful to uphold the values of peace, unity, and love that strengthen the nation.

Mr Obasa noted that the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir is not only a spiritual milestone, but also a reminder of the importance of togetherness and collective responsibility in building a stronger society.

He restated that the festival provides an opportunity for Nigerians to renew their commitment to national progress and support leadership that prioritizes development and prosperity.

Mr Obasa commended Nigerians, particularly members of the All Progressives Congress, for the massive turnout during the recently concluded party primaries.

The speaker described the participation as a clear demonstration of the people’s confidence in the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and their belief in the administration’s vision for a greater Nigeria.

“The APC primaries have shown the resilience of our democracy and the confidence Nigerians have in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“This is a strong message that our people are ready to continue supporting policies that will drive growth and prosperity,” Mr Obasa said.

The speaker further encouraged Muslims to celebrate responsibly, stressing that the joy of Eid should be accompanied by prayers for the continued peace and progress of Lagos and Nigeria.
