The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Special Needs and Equal Opportunities, Abba Isa, has extended warm greetings to Muslims across Nigeria on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr, urging them to sustain the virtues cultivated during the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement marking the celebration, Isa congratulated Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, as well as the Muslim faithful nationwide, on the successful completion of Ramadan.
He described Eid-el-Fitr as a significant period that marks the end of 30 days of fasting, prayer, sacrifice, and spiritual renewal. According to him, the season provides an opportunity for gratitude to Almighty Allah for the strength to fulfill religious obligations and grow in faith and compassion.
Isa called on Muslims to uphold the values of patience, humility, generosity, and devotion practiced during Ramadan, emphasizing that such virtues should remain a guiding principle beyond the fasting period.
He further encouraged Nigerians to continue demonstrating love and kindness by sharing with others and fostering unity across religious and social lines. He noted that acts of compassion and mutual respect are essential for strengthening peace and coexistence in the country.
The presidential aide also urged citizens to remain patriotic and support the administration of President Tinubu in its efforts to build an inclusive and prosperous nation under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
