Sallah: Tinubu Seeks Prayers for Troops Battling Terrorists

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday urged Nigerians to pray for troops battling bandits and terrorists in the Northeast and Northwest.

“Let us continue our prayers for our front-line officers, who risk their lives for our safety and security,” he said in a message to Muslims as they celebrate Eid-el-Kabir today.

The President, who led other leaders in congratulating the faithful, added: “Let us pray for our leaders at all levels and our country. Let us pray for peace in our tumultuous world of troubles and uncertainties. Let us dedicate this sacred celebration to seeking God’s guidance and blessings for our country.”

Eid-el-Kabir, celebrated worldwide by the slaughtering rams, is in commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to a command from God.
