President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to use the Eid-el-Kabir festivity to pray for security personnel deployed to ensure peace and stability in the country.

The President, who spoke with newsmen after observing the Eid prayers in Lagos, called on the privileged to cater for the needy.

This act of giving, he explained, should not be limited to wealth or resources, but must also include compassion, time, and presence in the lives of others.

The President reminded the citizenry of the power of unity and love, themes deeply rooted in both culture and faith.

“In the spirit of peace, we must come together, be one another’s brother’s keeper, give to your neighbours, love everyone equally”, he said .

He emphasised the importance of safeguarding their sacrifices, not just in words, but through behavior that honours their service and upholds the dignity of the nation.
