The Working People United (WoPU), a coalition of labour leaders, professionals, and artisans, has extended heartfelt greetings to Muslims across Nigeria as they mark the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir.
The group encouraged the faithful to renew their devotion to Allah (SWT) and reaffirm their commitment to the nation under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
In a goodwill message issued on Wednesday, WoPU’s National Coordinator, Comrade Williams Eniredonana Akporeha, underscored the importance of charity, particularly towards the poor, the needy, and the less privileged—values he described as fundamental to Islam.
He noted that Eid-el-Kabir represents total submission to the will of Allah (SWT), as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
Akporeha urged Muslims to take the lead in promoting peaceful coexistence among Nigerians, stressing that unity and harmony remain vital for national progress.
He expressed confidence that Nigeria will overcome its current challenges and emerge stronger, united, and prosperous.
“The virtues of self-discipline, compassion, brotherhood, and patriotism demonstrated during Ramadan and now in the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir, if sustained, will help us achieve the vision of our founding fathers for a united and prosperous nation. With the support of citizens, I am confident that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will guide Nigeria to its rightful place of pride,” he stated.
Reaffirming that Islam is a religion of peace, Akporeha called on Muslims to uphold the sanctity of life, strengthen their relationship with Allah through prayers and fasting, and remain steadfast in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
As Nigeria prepares for the forthcoming general elections, he appealed for special prayers for peaceful polls, political stability, and prosperity.On behalf of WoPU, Akporeha wished the Muslim Ummah a joyous Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging moderation in festivities.
