Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has called on Muslims in the state and across the world to reflect on the values of sacrifice, obedience, and faith as they mark the Eid-el-Kabir, also known as Eid-al-Adha.
In his Sallah message on Friday, Fubara encouraged Muslims to use the occasion as an opportunity to pray for peace, unity, and prosperity, especially at a time when Nigeria faces serious challenges from insecurity and economic difficulties.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi.
The statement read, “The governor, speaking on behalf of his wife and family, encouraged the Muslim community to recommit themselves to the principles of sacrifice, faith, and obedience.”
Fubara described these values as critical to building a stable and united society, even as he emphasised that without a shared vision and determined action, meaningful progress cannot be achieved.
He also appealed to Muslims to use this period to show kindness to those in need, especially the poor and vulnerable.
He further urged them to reach out in reconciliation, forgive past wrongs, and foster stronger ties within their communities.
Reflecting on recent times, Fubara acknowledged the patience and sacrifices made by the people in support of the state’s growth.
He admitted that while many aspirations remain unmet due to political challenges, notable achievements have still been recorded.
He reassured citizens that ongoing steps are being taken to stabilise governance and revive the economy, and pledged that their concerns will be addressed with practical solutions.
The governor also called for continued prayers for the peace and progress of Rivers State, while reaffirming his administration’s unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and welfare of all residents.
