President Tinubu Joins Prayers In Lagos As Muslims Mark Eid-El-Fitr
On Wednesday morning, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu observed the Eid-el-Fitr prayer at the Dodan Barracks Eid prayer ground in Obalende, Lagos.
He was joined at the Eid ground by his family members; Lagos State deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat, Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and a former Minister of Works, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, among other aides and associates.
Tinubu had on Sunday departed Abuja for Lagos to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr festival, signifying the completion of the one-month-long Ramadan fast.
Earlier on Tuesday, President Tinubu felicitated the Muslim Ummah over Eid-el-Fitr, an auspicious occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan. This hallowed season reflects total submission to God Almighty and His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.
In a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President greeted the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and worldwide, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah.
As he emphasized during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, President Tinubu appealed to all citizens to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation, stating: “We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire”.
