His congratulatory message was contained in a statement on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh.
The statement read;
“On behalf of my family, the people of Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, and indeed the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I heartily rejoice with all the Muslims in Nigeria as they join their counterparts in other parts of the world to celebrate Eid-El-Fitri.
“I wish all of you a peaceful and sweet celebration and pray the Almighty God to grant your heart desires.”
The Senate President urged Muslims to continue to offer prayers for peace, unity, and prosperity in Nigeria saying, “Islam is a religion of peace and if its adherents go to God in prayer with sincerity, He will surely answer.
“I therefore ask you to pray for your leaders and the peace and unity of our dear country. I believe with your prayers, Nigeria will overcome its current challenges.
“Wherever you find yourselves, radiate the peace that Islam preaches and the love and care for the less privileged that Prophet Muhammad exemplified.”
