Tinubu urges Nigerians to rebuild nation
President Bola Tinubu has appealed to all Nigerians to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation.
The appeal is contained in his message to the Muslim ummah on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations coming up on Wednesday.
The president said the citizens “are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire.”
Mr Tinubu felicitated the Muslim faithful and prayed that their supplications and sacrifices during the season and even after would receive rewards from God.
While wishing Nigerians a happy Eid-el-Fitr, the president also prayed that the lessons, blessings, and joys of the season abide with them always.
The Eid-el-Fitr comes at the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting.
