Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has extended warm greetings to Muslim faithful in Rivers State and across Nigeria on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr.
In a goodwill message to mark the celebration, the governor prayed that the festival would usher in joy, peace, and harmony among Nigerians, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or background.
“On behalf of the government and people of Rivers State, I wish all Muslim faithful a joyous Eid-el-Fitr. May this occasion strengthen our bonds of peace, unity, and mutual respect among all faiths. Let us continue to cherish our diversity and promote harmony, tolerance, and understanding. May our shared values of compassion, forgiveness, and unity guide us in our daily lives,” Fubara stated.
Eid-el-Fitr, observed by Muslims worldwide, marks the end of Ramadan, a holy month devoted to fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
The Federal Government had earlier declared Thursday, March 19, 2026, and Friday, March 20, 2026, as public holidays to commemorate the celebration.
