Reflecting on the significance of Eid al-Adha, Shettima underlined the occasion’s roots in Prophet Ibrahim’s legacy of obedience, sacrifice, and values. He noted that these virtues are crucial for building a united Nigeria.
Shettima described Eid-el-Kabir as a time for reflection, charitable acts, and fostering brotherhood.
He remarked, “Life is a marathon, and as individuals, we may run faster, but we can wear out easily. But as a family, as a collective, as a nation, we can gain greater traction and reach our desired destination.”
The Vice President further encouraged Nigerians to stand behind President Tinubu’s leadership, asserting that unity and shared sacrifice are vital in tackling challenges such as insecurity and poverty.
“What binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. I thank all Nigerians for their support and empathy and call on all of us to coalesce into a single purse to confront all of our common challenges of insecurity, destitution, and so many other challenges,” he said.
