In Nigeria, as the country marks Eid-el-Fitr to celebrate the end of Ramadan, prominent figures including the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and Grand Sheikh Dr. Rasheed Akinbile have urged citizens to embrace unity and collective responsibility. A statement released by the APC Chairman's Special Adviser highlighted the importance of the values taught during Ramadan, emphasizing that this period should inspire actions that foster national growth and solidarity among Nigerians.
Yilwatda extended his greetings to various government officials, including President Bola Tinubu, the members of the Federal Executive Council, and the National Assembly, encouraging them to embody the spirit of Ramadan—characterized by reflection, discipline, and compassion—in their daily responsibilities. The appeal is not just directed at the Muslim community but is a call for all citizens to align with the principles of kindness and unity that were emphasized during the holy month.
