President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, joined the Muslim Faithful across the country for the Eid-el-Fitr prayers.

Naija News reports that the prayers were held at the Dodan Barracks Eid prayer ground in Obalende, Lagos.

He was joined at the prayer ground by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat; the Minister of Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola; former Minister of Works, Babatunde Raji Fashola, and the Private Secretary to the President, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, among others.

Tinubu had on Sunday left the seat of power in Abuja for Lagos to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitr festival, signifying the completion of the one-month-long Ramadan fast.

Earlier on Tuesday, President Tinubu felicitated the Muslim Ummah over Eid-el-Fitr, an auspicious occasion that signifies the end of Ramadan, a hallowed season which reflects total submission to God Almighty and to His command of sacrifice and service to humankind.

The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, greeted the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and all around the world, praying that their supplications and sacrifices this season and even after will receive the fitting rewards from Almighty Allah.

As he emphasised during an iftar with Nigeria’s leaders of thought and conscience, President Tinubu appealed to all citizens to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation, stating: “We are the sculptor, and Nigeria is the clay; we build it the way we desire”.
