Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has felicitated Muslim faithful in the state and the nation as whole on the occasion of Eidel-Kabir, urging unity, tolerance, sacrifice, and hope. Mbah, in his Eid goodwill message yesterday, also called for charity, urging Nigerians to rise in solidarity with one another, especially the less privileged.

He said: “On the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, I extend warm felicitations to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Enugu State and across Nigeria as they commemorate this sacred festival of faith, sacrifice, and devotion to Almighty Allah. “Eid-el-Kabir reminds us that sacrifice lies at the very heart of true service to God and humanity.

“It calls to mind the profound blessings inherent in the virtues of patience, obedience, trust, and unwavering faith – values exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim and which remain timeless lessons for us all. “At a time when our nation continues to navigate important political and economic transitions, the significance of this celebration becomes even more profound.
