African Democratic Congress (ADC) has extended warm Eid-el-Kabir greetings to Muslim faithful across Nigeria and around the world as we join millions in celebrating this sacred season of sacrifice, faith, obedience, and compassion.
This is contained in a statement issued.on Wednesday in Abuja by the National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.
The statement reads in full:
“As a party, we recognise that this year’s Sallah is coming at an exceptionally difficult period for many Nigerians.
“Across the country, millions of families are struggling under the weight of rising food prices, worsening economic hardship, unemployment, and growing insecurity. Many citizens are uncertain about tomorrow, and many homes are carrying burdens heavier than they have ever known.
“Yet, even in moments like this, we believe Nigerians must not lose hope in the future of our country.
“Eid-el-Kabir reminds us that faith is most meaningful in difficult seasons. This lesson is especially important for Nigeria today.
“We believe deeply that beyond the hardship and frustration of this moment lies the possibility of a stronger, safer, and more prosperous nation. We believe in a Nigeria where real leadership works for the people, where young people can dream again, where farmers can return safely to their farms, where businesses can grow, and where ordinary citizens can once again live with dignity and hope.
“As Nigerians celebrate this Sallah, we urge all citizens not to surrender to the despair that is widespread under this government. The darkness of today must not blind us to the possibilities of tomorrow. History has shown that nations recover when citizens refuse to stop believing in a better future.
“We also call on leaders across all levels to reflect seriously on the deeper meaning of responsibility during this season.
“This Sallah, we pray for peace across our country, healing for hurting communities, relief for struggling families, and unity among Nigerians across religious and ethnic lines.
“Above all, we remain confident that Nigeria can still rise again.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi National Publicity Secretary African Democratic Congress (ADC)
