President Tinubu Marks Eid-el-Kabir 2026 with Message of Sacrifice, Economic Renewal and Security Assurance

Abuja, May 27, 2026 — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm greetings to Muslims in Nigeria and around the world on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir 2026, urging citizens to embrace the festival’s core values of faith, sacrifice, selflessness, unity and compassion.
In an official State House statement released on Monday, May 26, President Tinubu gave thanks to Almighty God for preserving lives to witness another Eid celebration. He drew direct inspiration from the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), highlighting the Prophet’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail in obedience to Allah as the ultimate example of devotion.
“Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the enduring virtues exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim—faith, obedience, and the willingness to sacrifice for a higher purpose,” the President said. “This sacred festival calls on all Muslims, and indeed all Nigerians and the whole of humanity, to embrace sacrifice, selflessness, unity, and compassion for our fellow human beings.”
The President linked the spirit of Eid to Nigeria’s ongoing national journey, describing the government’s economic reforms as “challenging but necessary” for building a stronger and more prosperous future. He declared that the sacrifices of the past three years are now producing visible results.
“The sacrifices and efforts we have made over the past three years have yielded a more stable economy, making our country a preferred investment destination that will drive job creation and economic growth,” Tinubu stated. “The walk through the dark tunnel is over, and the light is here.”
He expressed confidence that continued reforms would bring improved security and greater opportunities for all Nigerians.
Acknowledging that security challenges remain, with terrorists and bandits still attacking some communities despite recent successes such as the elimination of a wanted ISIS leader, the President reassured citizens: “You are neither abandoned nor forgotten. We will ultimately defeat all the forces of evil.”
President Tinubu called on Muslims to use the sacred occasion for prayers — for the country, for peace in communities, and for wisdom for those in leadership. He also urged citizens to reach out to the less privileged, share with neighbours, and strengthen bonds of brotherhood.
“My administration remains committed to building a Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace, worship freely, and pursue their dreams without fear,” he affirmed. “We will continue to invest in security, infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital to fulfil the great promise of our great nation.”
The message concluded with best wishes for a peaceful and joyous celebration.
“On behalf of the government, I wish you all a peaceful, joyous, and blessed Eid al-Kabir. May Allah accept our sacrifices and prayers, and may He continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Eid Mubarak! Happy Sallah!”
The full statement was issued under the President’s signature and has been widely circulated by the Presidency and major Nigerian media outlets. Public holidays for Eid-el-Kabir were earlier declared for Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28, 2026.

Breaking news:Fubara withdraws from APC primaries

Barely 24 hours to the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State Governor, Similayi Fubara, has withdrawn from the contest.
He stated this in a statement he signed on Wednesday night.
Fubara said after a deep reflection and extensive consultations with his family, friends, and associates, "I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to withdraw from the APC gubernatorial primaries. I do so with a full heart and with a firm commitment to support whoever emerges as the candidate of our great party".

He said leadership is ultimately about sacrifice, adding that there comes a time when personal ambition must yield to the greater good of the people. "Rivers State is bigger than any individual, and at this critical moment, the peace, stability, and unity of our dear state must take precedence over every personal interest.

"To my supporters who stood firmly with me throughout this journey who gave their time, resources, prayers, and unwavering hope, I offer my deepest gratitude. I understand the disappointment, the anger, and the pain many of you may feel. Much has indeed been invested and much sacrificed along the way. But please know that your loyalty and trust were never in vain. My silence over this period was deliberate and strategic, guided always by the higher interest of our state and our people.

"As our elders say, not everything a hunter sees in the forest is spoken of in the marketplace. Some truths are best borne quietly, not out of fear, but out of wisdom and restraint for the sake of peace and a greater purpose. It is enough to say that I have faced immense pressures and difficult choices, but my love for Rivers State remains greater than anything else.

"I sincerely thank our great party, the All Progressives Congress, for the platform and support extended to me throughout this process. I also express my profound appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his support and encouragement.

"The APC remains our collective home, and I urge all party faithful and supporters to remain steadfast and committed as we continue to build a stronger and more united future together.

"Let it be clearly understood that I stepped aside from participating in the upcoming River’s state Gubernatorial election not out of weakness, fear, or surrender, but out of conviction and sacrifice so that Rivers State may move forward in peace and unity and I remain committed to serving the good people of Rivers state till the end of my term

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT TINUBU ASSURES ON RESCUE OF KIDNAPPED VICTIMS IN OYO STATE, CONDEMNS REPORTED KILLING OF ABDUCTED TEACHER
President Bola Tinubu has condemned as barbaric the reported killing of one of the abducted teachers from the Esiele community in Oyo State, while the rescue operation is underway.
Bandits invaded the Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State last Friday. They abducted staff, students, and pupils of Community Grammar School, Baptist Nursery and Primary School and L.A. Primary School.
Security operatives are working around the clock to rescue the victims and apprehend the bandits and their collaborators within the community.
President Tinubu sympathised with Governor Seyi Makinde, the government, and the people of Oyo State for the unfortunate incident and assured them that the federal government will collaborate with the state government to rescue the victims.
"I am saddened by the reported killing of one of the teachers kidnapped by the gunmen who invaded the community. I sympathise with Governor Seyi Makinde and commend the steps he has taken on the matter. I sympathise with the families of the kidnapped victims.
"The Federal Government is working with the Oyo State government to rescue all the victims. I commend the Inspector-General of Police and the Commissioners of Police in Oyo and Kwara States for their quick intervention and the deployment of a tactical and the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) team to rescue the victims.
"The IGP, following my instructions, is personally leading the tech-driven operation. We expect a breakthrough soon. The bandits and all their local collaborators will be fished out and made to face the full wrath of the law.
"Cases of kidnapping further make imperative the establishment of state police to man some of our underserved areas. The National Assembly should accelerate the enactment of the law creating state police", the President said.
