Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has offered warm Eid al-Fitr greetings to Muslim faithful in the state and across Nigeria.
In a goodwill message to commemorate the event, the governor prayed that it would bring joy, peace, and harmony to all Nigerians, regardless of creed, tribe, or tongue.
Onwuka Nzeshi, the governor’s chief press secretary, released this statement in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
Fubara said, “On behalf of the government and people of Rivers State, I wish all Muslim faithful a joyous Eid al-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. Happy Eid al-Fitr.”
In the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a period dedicated to fasting, prayers and almsgiving by Muslim faithful.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has already announced Thursday, March 19, 2026, and Friday, March 20, 2026, as public holidays to commemorate the occasion.
