Eid-El-Kabir: Pray For Tinubu To Succeed-Bwacha

Chuwang Emmanuel

As Muslim faithful in Nigeria join the rest of the world to celebrate this year’s Eid-el- Kabir, the Taraba state gubernatorial flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last election Emmanuel Bwacha, said  President Bola Tinubu, needs more prayers by Nigerians to enable his administration to succeed.

He then urged the Muslim Ummah to used the period of the celebration to pray for Tinubu and other leaders, especially the newly appointed security chiefs.

Bwacha in a message personally signed by him said, “by so doing, together we can enjoy the benefits of a better Nigeria.”

The former senator asked Muslims to dedicate themselves to greater adherence and obedience to the compassionate and spiritually nourishing commands of Allah.

He encouraged the Muslim faithful never to forget the reason for Eid-el- Kabir and to reach out to give solace and succour to those unable to help themselves.

“I extend my warmest greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria and around the world.

“To be a good Muslim is to be a caring and generous human being therefore, show brotherly concern and compassion to all,” he said.

Mr Bwacha said the challenges faced as a nation called upon all to adhere even more closely to Allah’s commands.

He said by so doing, “Nigerians may overcome the challenges and continue to build a just and prosperous society destined for all.”

“We pray for our gallant soldiers and other security agents confronting these agents of evil people.

“We pray for the unity and stability of this country.”

“Let’s pray to Almighty Allah to protect the weak, feed the poor, and give us the courage, wisdom to subdue and defeat those who would do violence and destruction to the innocent.

“I urged the Muslims faithfuls to make sacrifices as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) who sacrificed his beloved son, Prophet Ismael (AS), but was substituted with a ram in fulfillment of the command of Almighty Allah (SWA).

“Just as Allah replaced Ismail with a ram for Prophet Ibrahim, May the Almighty replace your bitterness with joy.” He said.
