Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigerians to embrace the virtues of faith, sacrifice, unity and compassion as Muslims across the country and the world celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.

Obi made the call in a message shared on his X platform on Wednesday to commemorate the Islamic festival.

In his goodwill message, the former Anambra State governor congratulated the Muslim Ummah, describing Eid-el-Kabir as a sacred occasion that reflects obedience to God, love for humanity and commitment to the common good.

“I warmly felicitate with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and across the world as they celebrate Eid-el-Kabir, a sacred occasion that embodies the timeless virtues of faith, sacrifice, obedience to God, compassion and love for humanity,” he stated.
