Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has urged Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice as Muslims worldwide celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir.

In a statement on Sunday by his media aide, Bolaji Tunji, the minister urged Muslims to continue praying for peace and President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“ The president is desirous of taking the country to the promised land; he has good plans for the country as captured in the Renewed Hope Agenda.

”He has set the nation on the path of growth and development in the past one year of his administration.

“The Eid-el-Kabir is a sacred moment to reflect on the blessings, love and sacrifices of Allah upon humanity,” he said.

According to him, the Eid-el-Kabir is a period to renew our faith with the solemn trust that Allah has accepted our Ibadah.

”So I want to extend my heartfelt greetings to all Muslim Ummah on the joyous celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.

”May we begin to experience divine intervention in all spheres of every citizen’s life and good governance as a whole,” he prayed.

Mr Adelabu urged all Muslims to use the Eid celebration to reflect on the past and pray for the country’s growth toward a steady development.

The minister said it was important that Nigerians reflect on the spiritual benefits of the festive celebration and translate them into their personal lives and relationships with fellow citizens.

“We should also use this Eid celebration to reflect and pray for our country to grow and continue on its steady development for us to begin to reap the dividends of democracy as a nation,” he said.
