On the joyous occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to all Muslims across Africa and around the world.

This sacred celebration reminds us of the enduring values of faith, sacrifice, compassion, and solidarity—principles that continue to inspire our collective pursuit of peace, unity, and human dignity across our continent.

May this blessed occasion strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among our peoples and bring renewed hope, prosperity, and harmony to every African nation.
Eid Mubarak.
