A former military President of Nigeria, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has urged Muslims and all Nigerians to use the Eid-el-Kabir celebration as a time to devote themselves to the teachings of Islam and further unite and strengthen the nation.

Babangida said this in his Sallah message to Nigerians on Monday.

He said: “It is our collective duty during this sacred month and period of devotion to glorify Allah and adhere to our religious teachings by maintaining peace, protecting the sanctity of human life and unite to solve the problems bedeviling us collectively as a nation”.

According to him, “It is a unique and important festivity in the last lap of the Islamic calendar year for all Muslims globally to make sacrifices and religious rites.”

The former Military President also cautioned politicians not to allow their personal ambitions overshadow their sense of reasoning.

He advised that they should be guided in their utterances as some comments are capable of plundering the polity in jeopardy especially as the general elections draw near.

He said, “At this auspicious occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, I urged all Nigerians from all works of life or political affiliations to be in the vanguard of peace and unity and work towards rancour-free polls in the build-up to the forthcoming political dispensation”.
