As Muslims across Nigeria and the world unite in celebration of Eid el-Kabir—a festival symbolizing faith, sacrifice, and charity—Rt. Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, the distinguished Member of the House of Representatives representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency, Kano State, has delivered a powerful message from the holy city of Mecca. Currently performing the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj, Doguwa used this moment of spiritual reflection to call for unity, compassion, and communal upliftment among his constituents and Nigerians at large.
In a statement personally signed and conveyed to Democracy Newsline Newspaper on Thursday, Rt. Hon. Doguwa, who is also the Leader of the Northern Regional Caucus and a revered traditional titleholder—Sardaunan Rano and Sardaunan Kasar Hausa Mai Tuta—appealed for renewed commitment to the core values of Eid el-Kabir.
“I extend my heartfelt greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Kano State, the Daura and Rano Emirates, and all Nigerians celebrating this blessed occasion,” Doguwa said. “May the spirit of Eid el-Kabir inspire peace and strengthen our bonds of unity and brotherhood.”
Rt. Hon. Doguwa’s message comes at a crucial time when Nigeria faces significant economic and social challenges. His call for compassion and community solidarity is a poignant reminder that beyond political and economic reforms, the strength of a nation lies in the empathy its people show to one another.
Highlighting the essence of Eid el-Kabir—the festival that commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s profound willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God—Doguwa urged individuals, families, and organizations to remember those who struggle in silence within their communities.
“The true spirit of Eid el-Kabir is found in sacrifice, charity, and compassion. I call upon all well-meaning individuals and groups to extend a helping hand to the poor, the hungry, and the marginalized among us,” he implored.
The festival’s significance transcends ritual; it is a call to action, a moment to renew our shared humanity by uplifting the less fortunate. Doguwa’s message resonates strongly within Kano State, known for its rich cultural heritage and longstanding tradition of communal harmony.
“As families gather to perform the sacred sacrifice and share meals with loved ones, let us also remember those who may go to bed hungry this Eid. Eid el-Kabir is a celebration of faith that calls us to uphold the values of kindness, empathy, and social responsibility,” the Honorable concluded.
Rt. Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa’s Eid message reflects not only his role as a seasoned politician and grassroots leader but also his deep commitment to peace, solidarity, and social welfare in Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency. His dedication to education, infrastructure, and economic development has consistently sought to uplift the lives of his constituents while fostering unity and progress.
As Nigeria and the global Muslim community mark this sacred festival, Rt. Hon. Doguwa’s call to embrace the spirit of Eid as a catalyst for unity and compassion stands as a beacon of hope and a reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture the bonds that hold our society together.
