    President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to show more concern for their neighbours and spread charity to all in the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir. 

    Speaking to journalists after Eid-el-Kabir prayers in Lagos on Sunday, the president stated that some level of sacrifice will be required to propel the country ahead.

    According to a statement issued by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Tinubu asked Nigerians to sacrifice their time for the country’s prosperity and well-being following Eid prayers.

    “We have been told by the Chief Imam how we can follow the path of sacrifice. The sacrifice required of a good citizen. Citizenship comes with responsibilities.

    “As citizens, what do we need to do to be committed members of our society? Yes, that is sacrifice—loving your country.

    “Loving your neighbours. Sharing what you have with each other. And to always be thankful to Almighty God,” the President said.

    In his sermon, Lagos State’s Chief Imam, Sheikh Suleiman Oluwatoyin, who led the prayers, emphasised the importance of more love, sacrifice, and care for the poor and vulnerable.

    “Our leaders, like the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, and Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, to mention a few, sacrificed their knowledge, wealth, sweat, and even life to the growth and development of the country we call ours today. All their activities and actions were geared towards nation-building.

    “We must therefore ensure that their sacrifices are not in vain. It is incumbent on us to follow in their footsteps to ensure that this nation, Nigeria, continues to grow by leaps and bounds,” he said.

    The Chief Imam of Lagos urged citizens to pray that God Almighty grant Tinubu the strength and wisdom to deliver on his vision for a better and more prosperous nation.
