Eid-ul-Fitr 2026: Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria Calls for National Unity, Strengthened Security, and Responsible Democratic Participation

Lagos, Nigeria – March 20, 2026 – As Muslims across Nigeria and the world celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan, the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria has issued a powerful message of reflection, unity, and national progress.

In a press release signed by its National President, Prince Mosediq Adeniji Kazeem, SAN, FCArb, the society extended warm congratulations to the Muslim Ummah while urging citizens to uphold the core values of faith, compassion, justice, and unity that define the Eid celebration.

Key Messages from the Society

The society thanked Almighty Allah for granting strength, patience, and spiritual renewal during Ramadan. It described Eid not only as a time of joy but also as a moment for sober reflection on the enduring Islamic principles of peace, tolerance, compassion, and national unity.

Prince Kazeem emphasized that the strength of the Muslim community lies in its unity, mutual respect, and collective commitment to justice. He called on Muslims worldwide to prioritize dialogue and the protection of innocent lives, warning that violence and conflict only deepen human suffering and undermine global stability.

Urgent Call on Security and Governance

In Nigeria, the society highlighted the persistent threats of banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism, urging the Federal Government to intensify efforts in strengthening the nation’s security architecture. It specifically advocated for the establishment of State Police, noting that the current centralized policing structure has shown clear limitations in addressing the country’s diverse security challenges.

The release further stressed the need for a properly regulated, multi-layered security framework that complements federal agencies and strengthens community-based intelligence in combating crime.

Commendation for Economic Reforms

While acknowledging ongoing challenges, the society commended the Federal Government for its efforts over the past two years in stabilizing the nation’s economy. It praised the steps taken toward improving fiscal management, economic reforms, and encouragement of private sector growth, describing them as noteworthy and deserving of continued support.

The society also called for stronger policies to bolster the food supply chain and agricultural sector through sustainable practices, improved logistics, and increased support for farmers — stressing that food security remains essential for national stability and economic growth.

Guidance for the 2027 Electoral Cycle

With Nigeria gradually approaching another electoral cycle, the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society reminded citizens that the lessons of Ramadan — peace, patience, forgiveness, discipline, and accountability — must guide conduct in the democratic process.

The society urged all Nigerians, particularly the Muslim Ummah, to:

• Eschew violence, hatred, and divisive rhetoric
• Engage constructively in politics
• Articulate aspirations responsibly
• Choose leaders who are accountable to the people

It encouraged active participation in the democratic process by voting for candidates who demonstrate integrity, competence, and genuine commitment to the welfare of the nation.

Eid Mubarak Message

The statement concluded with warm greetings:

“Eid Mubarak to all Muslims in Nigeria and around the world.”
