“As we celebrate Eid-el-Fitr, let us continue to uphold the principles of discipline, self-denial, and commitment to higher ideals,” the EFCC boss stated.
He highlighted that personal integrity is a vital component of national development, adding that “the best of us is what is good for the best of our nation.”
Parallel to this, in Bauchi State, the Emir of Dass, Alhaji Usman Othman II, addressed worshippers following the Eid prayers, focusing on the nation’s security challenges.
The monarch stressed that the fight against insecurity cannot be won by the government alone. “Security is everyone’s business. All hands must be on deck to succeed in the fight against recurring insecurity,” he remarked.
The Emir also took the opportunity to commend the Bauchi State Government for its ongoing developmental projects within the emirate, while the Deputy Chief Imam, Ishaq Ismail, offered prayers for those affected by unrest across the country.
The combined messages from the nation’s foremost anti-corruption agency and the traditional institution reflect a shared vision: that Nigeria’s path to stability lies in a marriage of individual righteousness and collective civic responsibility.
As the Eid celebrations continue, these calls for unity and law-abiding conduct remain a central theme for the festivities.
