President Tinubu was joined by Vice President Kashim Shettima and Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, some members of the Federal Executive Council and lawmakers among others to mark the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations
Meanwhile, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, urged Nigerians to continue to pray and support leaders at all levels of government to be able to bring about the needed growth and development of the country
In his Sallah message shortly after the prayers to mark this year’s Eid-El-Fitr celebration, the Sultan urged Nigerians to pray for peace and against the rising insecurity in the country.
He expressed concern over the security challenges in parts of the country while commending the security forces for their efforts.
He urged Nigerians to engage in constructive criticism rather than engaging in frivolous attacks on leaders who are working towards finding solutions to the challenges facing the country.
The Sultan commended the efforts of the Sokoto State Government for embarking on many transformative projects in the state, saying citizens need to support the government to do more.
Abubakar said the contract between citizens and leaders is a continuous one and urged the government to continue the good work they have started so as to take the state to a greater height. He was particularly grateful to the government and other wealthy individuals in the state who supported residents to observe the Ramadan fast with ease through support of all kinds.
