The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, has called on Nigerians to embrace the spirit of sacrifice, patriotism, and unity during this year’s Eid-El-Kabir celebration.

In a statement to mark the Islamic festival, Gabam describes Eid-el-Kabir as a sacred season marked by devotion and reflection, emphasizing that Nigeria’s path to redemption requires selflessness and compassion from both the governed and those in power.

He urges political leaders to prioritize national interest over personal gain.

“The need for patriotism among our political leaders cannot be overstated”.

While reiterating his role as a member of the opposition, Gabam stresses that supporting the success of leaders in power is not an endorsement of mediocrity but a recognition that national progress hinges on effective leadership.

He urges citizens to participate actively in nation-building through prayer, civic engagement, and principled activism.

“A better Nigeria can only be achieved when citizens use their voices to demand accountability and good governance,” he said.

Gabam wishes all Muslims and Nigerians a peaceful and meaningful Eid-El-Kabir celebration, urging them to embody the values of obedience, humility, and sacrifice in the quest for national rebirth.
