Muslim Ummah, on the occasion of this
year’s Eid El Fitr, which marks the
completion of the Ramadan fast.

around the world on the successful
completion of this month-long spiritual
journey of fasting, prayer and almsgiving in
obedience to the Divine Command.

reward our sacrifices with increased blessing
and a more prosperous future.
“On this happy occasion, it is my strong
belief that all true followers of Islam have
been rejuvenated on the true meaning and
essence of life and through the teachings of
Prophet Muhammad (SAW), we have learnt
to imbibe the virtues of piety, sacrifice, love,
self-denial and good conduct in our daily
relationship with one another.

“As we celebrate another Eid El Fitr, I
admonish all patriotic Nigerians to uphold
these lessons and also appreciate the
numerous material and human blessings God
has endowed us with.
“Let us learn to show gratitude, respect and
tolerance to one other, irrespective of our
religion, tribe, language and political
leanings, as we forge ahead to build on our
strengths and opportunities to make Nigeria
great again.
“On Monday this week, the Vice President,
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
and other government officials joined me to
host Iftar reception at the State House with
Nigerians of different backgrounds including
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), artisans
and Physically-challenged persons.
”Like I said during the reception, I want to
once again appeal to those of us who have
the means, to remember the millions of
Nigerians who are suffering deprivation
because of violence perpetrated by
terrorists.
“I am not unaware of what Nigerians are
going through and I want to use this medium
to commend the amazing sacrifices of
Nigerians in the face of the temporary
economic and social challenges and also
reassure Nigerians that my administration is
working assiduously towards providing basic
needs and other amenities.
“Let me also use this opportunity to reaffirm
that we will not relent in the fight against
corruption and we will ensure that all
appropriate and legal measures are deplored
to root out this malaise.
“I commend the Armed Forces and security
agencies for the gains recorded in the fight
against terrorists and the rescue of
hostages in the North East part of the
country.
“I also appeal for the support, understanding
and patience of all Nigerians and our
international partners as we explore the
fastest means to end the economic
sabotage in the Niger Delta and amicably
resolve the conflicts within the region.
“I promise you all better days ahead even as
we remain grateful for your unflinching
support to our administration.
“Happy Eid El Fitr celebration and May the
Almighty Allah continue to bless our nation.
“Eid Mubarak!”
The Federal government has extended the
public holidays for the Eid-el-fitr celebration
