He called on Nigerians, regardless of religious affiliation, to remain selfless and dedicate their lives, time, and resources to the service of God and humanity.
The Speaker urged Muslims and Christians to work together towards peaceful coexistence.
He specifically requested special prayers from the Muslim community during this Eid-el-Kabir celebration for the peaceful conduct of the 2027 general elections, which he noted will shape the sustainability, prosperity, and future of the country.
