The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has felicitated with Nigerians, especially Muslim compatriots on the occasion of this year’s Eid-al-Adha, and also expressed their heartfelt joy with steps already taken by President Bola Tinubu within his one month in saddle of leadership as Nigeria’s leader.
In a statement issued by the political party on Wednesday, which was signed by its national publicity secretary, Barr. Felix Morka, and made available to newsmen in Abuja, the party enjoin Muslim compatriots to continue to show compassion towards the needy and less-privileged in the society.
His words: “The All Progressives Congress (APC), felicitates with Nigerians, especially our Muslim compatriots, on the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha.
“Eid al-Adha, otherwise known as Eid-el-Kabir or the Feast of Sacrifice, is a highly symbolic Islamic tradition and celebration that commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command.
“Aside its significance of personal sacrifice, it also underscores Allah’s infinite capacity and willingness to divinely provide for mankind”.
APC said this year’s celebration remarkably coincides with a period in Nigeria’s history when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is taking some courageous and decisive steps to reposition the country for rapid economic growth and wholesome greatness in line with his administration’s Renewed Hope agenda.
“We urge Nigerians to subscribe to the virtues of sacrifice and patience as we soldier on in our quest for a better Nigeria.
“We also enjoin our Muslim compatriots to continue to show compassion towards the needy and less-privileged among us as they celebrate”, APC said.
