Buhari to Observe Eid Kabir Prayers with Family at Home - THISDAYLIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari will observe the Eid El-Kabir prayers with his family at home on Thursday, the presidency announced Wednesday.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, said the president would mark the festival at home just as he marked the Eid El-Fitr at home over two months ago, in line with advisories from the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA and the Presidential Task Force, PTF on COVID-19.

“In wishing all Muslims a safe and happy Eid, the President reiterated the protocols as issued by the PTF that large gatherings, as much as possible, should be discouraged. Where small groups choose to hold the Eid together, face masks are absolutely necessary, as is social distancing. Advisedly, such prayers should hold outdoors and worshippers are encouraged to bring their own prayer mats.

“In order to stop the spread of the disease, the President will not be receiving Sallah homages by religious, community, party and government leaders and urges all citizens to observe the occasion as advised by state and local authorities.
