As Muslims around the world celebrate the end of the Ramadan season, prominent Nigerian leaders, Thursday, with some kind of unanimity, called for prayers for the nation, especially in the area of security, while at the same time suing for peace and unity of Nigeria.
The leaders, who despite their differences in faith and political leaning sent out wishes and greetings, were, however, concerned about many things, chief of which was the security of the country.
President Bola Tinubu, while congratulating the Muslim faithful in Nigeria, urged renewed commitment to the nation and humanity.
The president, in a release by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, enjoined Nigerian Muslims to rededicate themselves to the noble teachings of the holy month, which emphasised piety, empathy, and unity among humanity.
“We have a lot to draw from the noble lessons of Ramadan, especially at a time like this. We must continue to abide by the virtues of piety, selflessness, perseverance, kindness and compassion beyond this period,” he said.
Tinubu urged all Muslim faithful to extend a hand of kindness to the needy of all faiths, to further show unity and camaraderie.
The president also tasked Muslim leaders to use the occasion to offer prayers for peace and prosperity to prevail in the country.
Atiku Urges FG to Prioritise Security
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar called on the federal government to prioritise the security of the people.
Congratulating the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and across the world on the successful completion of the Ramadan fasting, Atiku urged the government to pay attention to security.
He stressed, “The protection of the lives and property of citizens is a divine decree and the sole responsibility of every government.
“A greater number of people are being crushed by the economic downturn and global events in the past three weeks have further exacerbated the situation.
“It is incumbent on the wealthy to be more compassionate by taking up the responsibility of charity to help cushion the effect of the burden on the poor.”
A press statement by his media office admonished Muslims to remain steadfast in piety by maintaining peace and engaging in charitable causes.
He stated, “The completion of the Ramadan fasting is a call to duty that ensures we sustain the good deeds that the noble month requires of us.
“We must ensure that the lessons of the month are not lost on us and that the celebration of today is a reminder to the people, especially Muslims, to follow in the tradition of the noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in seeking closeness to God through worship and maintaining peace.”
Akpabio, Barau, Bamidele Rally Nigerians for Unity, Compassion, Security Reforms
Leaders of the Senate called for renewed commitment to national unity, compassion for the less privileged, and far-reaching reforms to tackle insecurity.
They also expressed optimism over ongoing economic and security interventions by the federal government.

In a message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast, describing Eid-el-Fitr as a period that embodies the virtues of empathy, kindness, and unity.
He emphasised the need for Nigerians to show greater concern for the less-privileged in society, stating that the essence of the season lay in giving and promoting harmony.
Akpabio added that the spirit of the season should inspire citizens to work collectively towards a more just and harmonious society, while praying for peace, progress and prosperity in Nigeria and across the globe.
Similarly, Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, urged Muslims to sustain prayers for global peace amid rising international tensions, while highlighting the economic implications of ongoing global conflicts.
Barau, in a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, expressed concern over price shocks linked to geopolitical crises, including the tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which he said continued to impact economies around the world, including Nigeria.
The deputy senate president also commended Tinubu for what he described as relentless efforts to stabilise the Nigerian economy through reforms and policy measures, as well as ongoing efforts to combat insecurity.
He said the president’s directive to security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri following recent attacks would help to flush out criminal elements and restore peace in the affected areas.
Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, in his Eid message, called for a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to addressing insecurity in the country, warning that reliance on military force alone would not guarantee lasting peace.
Bamidele stated that while the efforts of Nigeria’s defence and security agencies remained commendable, there was an urgent need to recalibrate strategies to tackle violent extremism and terrorism more effectively.
He stressed that beyond kinetic operations, government at all levels must invest in human capital development, including education, healthcare, and social safety nets, to address the root causes of insecurity.

Ochogwu stated, “At a time when the country is confronted with complex challenges, unity of purpose and collective responsibility are crucial to overcoming divisions and building a more secure and prosperous nation.”
Sokoto Cleric, Followers Observe Eid, Despite Sultan’s Directive
Sokoto-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Musa Luku-wa, Thursday, led his followers to observe Eid al-Fitr prayers in defiance of the directive issued by Sultan of Sokoto, who had declared Friday as the official Sallah day.
The cleric conducted the two-unit Eid prayer at his Mabera mosque at approximately 9:10am, after, reportedly, addressing his followers hours after the sultan’s announcement that the Shawwal crescent moon had not been sighted anywhere in Nigeria.
In a message that later circulated on social media, Lukuwa justified the decision by citing confirmed reports of moon sighting in neighbouring Niger Republic.
According to him, trusted contacts in the country verified the development, prompting his group to proceed with the Eid celebration.
Lukuwa stated, “Niger Republic is very close to us—about 100 kilometresaway. If we accept reports from cities like Kano or even Lagos, which are farther away, there is no reason to reject confirmed sightings from a neighbouring country.”
He emphasised that the decision was not an act of disregard for Sultan’s authority but rather adherence to religious teachings.
He stated, “We usually follow the Sultan’s directive in starting and ending Ramadan. However, when it is clear that the moon has been sighted, we must act in accordance with the teachings of the Prophet, even if it differs from the Sultan’s declaration.”

In his Eid-ul-Fitr message, Onike cautioned against premature criticism, calling on citizens to adopt a more measured and constructive approach to national discourse.
“Islam teaches balance: we hold leaders accountable, but we must also avoid baseless suspicion, offer constructive advice, and support genuine efforts aimed at public welfare,” he said.
The cleric acknowledged the economic hardship currently faced by Nigerians, but stated that the federal government was making observable efforts to stabilise the economy and improve security.
He pointed to key policy measures, such as fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange unification, and fiscal reforms, which he said were already producing positive macroeconomic indicators, including increased government revenue and improved investor confidence.
Delta Police Promise Adequate Security
Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Aina Adesola, ordered strategic deployment of personnel across the state to ensure a peaceful and secure Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
Adesola assured the Muslim faithful and residents of adequate security, including measures to safeguard life and property, and ensure the free flow of traffic.
He stated that a robust operational deployment comprising conventional police personnel, tactical units, and other operational assets had been placed at all Eid prayer grounds and other strategic locations across the state.
Adesola warned criminal elements, including cultists and other mischief-makers, to desist from their unlawful acts, stressing that the command is fully prepared to deal decisively with any threat to public peace.
He directed Divisional Police Officers, Area Commanders, and Tactical Commanders to intensify intelligence-led raids on criminal hideouts and black spots, while Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations was to ensure effective coordination and supervision of all deployments for the sustenance of peace and security before, during, and after the celebrations.
