As Muslims in the country join the rest of the world to mark this year’s Eid-El-Kabir, the sole presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 presidential election, Peter Obi, has called for faith, sacrifice and hope.
The former Anambra State governor, while commemorating the day with Muslims in Nigeria, called for prayers for the emergence of a renewed Nigeria.
In a message posted on his X account, Obi said: “I extend heartfelt greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and around the globe as they commemorate Eid-el-Kabir, a significant occasion that represents enduring values of faith, sacrifice, obedience to God, compassion, and love for humanity. Let us concentrate our prayers on unity and hope during this year’s Sallah.
