We have started with the decisions taken so far, to reform our economy and remove all impediments to growth.
“As we embrace the present challenges, we must face the future with vigour and renewed hope with the confidence that our tomorrow shall be better and brighter,” he said.
The president stressed the need to multiply good deeds with kindness to fellow Muslims and others by helping and supporting the weak and vulnerable in our communities.
He also underscored the need for Muslims to imbibe and manifest core values; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love, and compassion inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life.
“The best way by which we can demonstrate this example is in how we conduct ourselves in relation to our fellow citizens and in our duties to our beloved country. We must imbibe and manifest those values inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s life, namely; complete devotion to Allah, tolerance, patience, perseverance, selflessness, love, and compassion” he stressed.

In his Sallah message, Buhari noted that leadership is a challenging task that demands the sacrifices and support of the citizens.
Speaking through his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari said: “Leading a country like Nigeria is one of the hardest challenges in life.”
Akpabio, Abbas preach love, unity
Senate president, Godswill Akpabio, has enjoined Nigerians to eschew bitterness, and hatred and imbibe the spirit of love, unity, and faith during the celebration.
In a statement by his media office to felicitate with the Muslim faithful on this year’s Eid-Kabir celebration, Akpabio charged them not to forget the very tenets of the season, which are love, obedience, and perseverance as they celebrate.
He said, “It is only in a state of peace and tranquility that governments at all levels would be able to get the country out of the current economic situation.”
Akpabio assured Nigerians that the government at all levels was working round the clock to reduce the economic hardship currently being faced by the masses with the removal of fuel subsidies.
“This is time all hands must be on deck to salvage the situation for the benefit of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora,” he added.
In his message, the Speaker House of Representatives, Tajuddeen Abbas urged the citizens to particularly use the occasion to pray for the success of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He also called for their spiritual and moral support for all elected and appointed leaders nationwide.
Abbas also enjoined all citizens to emulate Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to the Almighty Allah, by making sacrifices towards the development and growth of Nigeria.
He said, “I congratulate Muslims, and Nigerians by extension, as we witness yet another Sallah celebration, especially after the successful conduct of the 2023 general elections and the inauguration of a new President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as the 10th National Assembly.
“It is a time to thank Almighty Allah for His grace and mercy upon our nation. It is a time to reflect on the prospects and the brighter future ahead of the nation.
