The Independent Non-Executive Director of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, NSIA, Hon. Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to intensify prayers against the challenges confronting the nation.
In a statement issued by his media assistant in Kano, Gaya described the current situation in the country as a test of citizensā spiritual resolve and faith.
He urged Muslims to reflect on the deeper significance of Eid-el-Fitr, noting that the festival symbolises sacrifice, obedience to Allah, and compassion for the less privileged.
āEvery Muslim finds joy in observing the Ramadan fast, a fundamental obligation in Islam. We should not lose sight of the lessons it teaches: obedience to Allah, sharing our blessings with the needy, and being our brotherās keeper,ā he said.
Speaking on the forthcoming general elections, Gaya advised the electorate to vote for selfless leaders committed to national service and the welfare of Nigerians.
He described the elections as a choice between progress and regression, stressing the need for voters to support candidates with verifiable achievements rather than empty promises.
Gaya also urged Nigerians to remain mindful of their civic responsibilities by choosing leaders who demonstrate integrity, sincerity, and dedication.
According to him, the countryās future depends on the electorate exercising their voting rights wisely to elect leaders who understand the responsibilities of public office and approach them with humility, competence, and genuine commitment to service.
He expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for His mercies and facilitated with the people of Ajingi, Gaya, and Albasu Local Government Areas, as well as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Nigerians at large on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
