Mallam Abdulazeez further emphasized that the significance of Eid-el-Kabir goes beyond festivities and merriment, urging citizens to imbibe the enduring values of sacrifice, faith, compassion, and total devotion exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
He called on the people to remain steadfast in promoting peaceful coexistence, tolerance, and mutual understanding among all ethnic and religious groups for the continued growth and stability of the nation.
