Eid-el-Fitr: Leemon Ikpea Felicitates Muslims, Urges Commitment to Nation-building

The founder and Chairman of the Lee Engineering Group and Allied Companies Limited, Chief Leemon Ikpea, has appealed to Nigerians to come together and rededicate themselves to the noble duty of building the nation as he felicitates the Muslim faithful.

Ikpea, the billionaire mogul and nationalists made the appeal in his message to the Muslim ummah on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations observed on Wednesday.

The Lee Engineering CEO felicitated the Muslim ummah and prayed that their supplications and sacrifices receive God's blessings.

While congratulating the Muslims on successful completion of the Ramadan fasting, Ikpea urged Nigerians of all faith to extend their trust in God to the administration of President Bola Tinubu as his administration continues making efforts to make the country economically stable and prosperous.

"I am using this great occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters well and to pray that their good wishes for the country come to pass," said Ikpea.

The philanthropist called on Muslims to offer special prayers for unity, peace and progress of the nation as they mark the end of the Ramadan fast.

"More important, I urge my Muslim brothers and sisters to use this auspicious occasion to beseech Allah the Almighty God to bless Nigeria and its citizens, to grant us peace and prosperity.

"As you re-dedicate yourselves to doing the will of God, may we all be steadfast in promoting unity and brotherliness," Ikpea said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

He urged Nigerians to remain hopeful that the nation will soon turn the corners and reap the benefits of Tinubu's policies despite the initial challenges.

"I see light at the end of the tunnel. The president means well for Nigeria and Nigerians. We will all smile again, both Christians and Muslims, including the adherents of other faiths," said Ikpea.

He assured that the current administration would do its best to make Nigeria great again, asking Nigerians to throw their weight behind the Tinubu administration.

Ikpea also pledged to continue doing his part to foster unity and progress.
