Senate President Godswill Akpabio has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.
Mr Akpabio, in a congratulatory message on Friday, also congratulated the faithful for the successful completion of Ramadan.
Mr Akpabio urged Muslims to show compassion, forgiveness, unity, and continue the philanthropic practice of alms-giving and love for one another.
“This joyous celebration reminds us of the profound values of compassion, forgiveness, and unity that Eid-el-Fitr embodies,” stated the politician.
Mr Akpabio added, “As you conclude this important exercise of fasting and spiritual reflection, be reminded of the importance of empathy, kindness, and generosity toward others, particularly the less privileged.
“May the spirit of Eid inspire us to cultivate compassion, promote understanding, and work toward a more just and harmonious Nigeria.
“On behalf of my family, constituents, the senate, and indeed the 10th National Assembly, I sincerely wish President Bola Tinubu and all Muslims a happy and blessed Eid celebration, and pray for peace, progress, and prosperity in Nigeria and globally.”
