Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has urged all citizens to observe all security-related instructions provided by the security agencies during the Sallah celebrations.
In his message for this year’s Eid-El-Kabir, he made this clear and urged the residents to abide by all current recommendations for preventing the spread of COVID-19 because it had not yet been wiped out and still posed a threat to public health.
His message reads: “I am delighted to convey the greetings of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to all residents as we celebrate, once more, the joyous occasion.
“I urge all of us to use the occasion of the celebration to strengthen the bonds of friendship, unity and to reinforce the values of peaceful coexistence that have been the hallmark of FCT citizens.
“The lessons of Eid El Kabir are sacrifice and piety. All these we, as FCT residents, have exhibited in great measure. As we therefore celebrate, I salute your steadfastness.
“I once again wish to remind residents that the FCT was founded on the noble principles of unity and peace and built on a foundation of national strength and perseverance. We should stand firm on these premises and resist all attempts to truncate our march to attaining our desired goals.
“I enjoined all residents of the FCT to live by the tenets of peace and good neighbourliness, hard work and honesty and to use the occasion of the festivities to pray for our President, Muhammad Buhari and other leaders for security, prosperity and development as well as for peaceful and successful elections in 2023.
“Once again, I wish you all Happy Eid El Kabir celebrations”, the message further stated.
