resident Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to unite and rededicate themselves to the duty of building the country.
In his Eid-el-Fitr message, Tinubu congratulated Muslims in the country for completing the Ramadan fasting.
In a statement on Tuesday, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, said Tinubu prayed that the blessings of the festival remain with the country.
“We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire,” President Tinubu said.
Also, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, governors and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) urged Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, sacrifice and peace.
“The president greets the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and all around the world, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah,” the statement reads.
“As he emphasised during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, President Tinubu appeals 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”.
