Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, has sent his best wishes to Muslims across Nigeria as they mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.

Speaking from Saudi Arabia where he is currently performing the Hajj, Speaker Abbas, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, called on Muslims to pray for Nigeria, especially its leaders.

He also encouraged people to embrace the spirit of sacrifice, which is the main message of the celebration.

Abbas extended his message to all Nigerians, saying both individual and collective sacrifices are needed to move the country forward.

He added that this season is a time to renew faith and stay united, saying that with unity and commitment, Nigeria can achieve progress.

“Through prayers, selfishness, dedication, and renewed hope, we shall overcome our challenges as a nation,” the Speaker said.

Speaker Abbas, therefore, urged Nigerians to see the current socio-economic situation as a temporary sacrifice towards a prosperous country under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
