Eid-El-Kabir: Atiku Urges Muslims To Pray For Nigeria.

A former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Muslims in Nigeria to pray for the country at various Eid prayer grounds.

Mr Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections, made the call in a statement issued by his Media Office in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said that Nigeria was currently in need of prayers.

“We must continue to ask God Almighty to show His blessings upon the country and to elevate Nigeria to a path of peace, harmony and prosperity,” he said.

Mr Abubakar congratulating Muslims on this year’s celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir festival, also urged Muslims in Nigeria to take a lesson of forbearance from the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

He said that the significance of the festival was about the profitability of being patient with God in human affairs and most especially, as Muslims.

He reminded the faithful of the obligation to follow the noble examples of Prophets Ibrahim (AS) and Muhammad (SAW) by being kind and generous to the people around them.
