Tunji-Ojo congratulated the Muslim faithful both at home and in the diaspora on the occasion.
“He called on the Muslim Ummah to continue to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice and faith as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him) and to also use the period to pray for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.
