The message, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, urged citizens to embrace compassion, forgiveness, and unity.
Akpabio called on Muslims to extend empathy and generosity, particularly to the less privileged, while sending wishes to President Bola Tinubu and all Nigerians for peace and prosperity.
“This joyous celebration reminds us of the profound values of compassion, forgiveness, and unity that Eid-el-Fitr embodies,” he said.
Similarly, All Progressives Congress candidate for the 2026 Osun off-cycle governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, extended warm greetings to Muslims in Osun State.
He commended their spiritual dedication during Ramadan and encouraged residents to uphold patience, discipline, and compassion in daily life. Oyebamiji stressed that these virtues should guide efforts to build a peaceful and progressive state.
APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru also urged Nigerians to sustain the spiritual discipline of Ramadan, continuing prayers for national unity and progress.
He highlighted the importance of continuous charity and righteousness, while emphasising collective action to address insecurity and support economic reforms under President Tinubu’s administration.

All three leaders underscored the social and spiritual significance of Eid, calling on citizens to embrace generosity, empathy, and national harmony during the festivities.
A massive crowd of party faithful thronged Agege on Saturday, May 16, as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, secured his place as the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus candidate for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
The hitch-free primary exercise saw card-carrying members in their numbers validate his candidacy, underscoring the strength of his grassroots support.
The development comes just days after Obasa’s May 13 declaration at a stakeholders’ meeting in Agege, where he announced his ambition to contest for the federal seat.
At that earlier event, he explained that his decision was driven by calls from party leaders and stakeholders who believed he could serve Agege more effectively at the national level.
“I answered the call of our leaders and stakeholders who believe I can serve Agege better. We must present candidates with capacity, loyalty, and commitment to the progress of Agege,” Obasa had said.
At the primary election, Obasa expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from his constituency.
“I am deeply humbled by the confidence reposed in me by our leaders and members. Today’s validation is not just about me; it is about our collective resolve to continue building Agege and Lagos State on the foundation of progress and development,” he remarked.
He further pledged to remain people-focused in his representation: “My commitment has always been to serve with integrity, to amplify the voices of our people, and to ensure that Agege continues to stand tall in the comity of constituencies. This validation strengthens my resolve to deliver more dividends of democracy.”
Party officials praised the peaceful conduct of the exercise, noting that it reflected the unity and discipline within the APC in Agege.
Observers also pointed to Obasa’s earlier endorsement of Hon. Ganiyu Egunjobi for Agege Constituency I and Hon. Azeez Oladapo Yusuf Ninolowo for Agege Constituency II as evidence of his broader strategy to consolidate party cohesion.
With the primary now concluded, Obasa is set to fly the APC flag in the forthcoming general election, a move that many believe will further entrench the party’s influence in Agege.
