By Eucharia Ajuzie Abuja, Facts Happening News – President Tinubu sends goodwill message to all Nigerian Muslims today. The president ask them to embrace unity, peace and be compassionate in times like this according to Bayo Onanuga. The ream message PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU’S EID-EL-KABIR 2026 MESSAGE I extend warm felicitations to our Muslim brothers and sisters across Nigeria and worldwide as they celebrate the glorious Eid-el-Kabir, the Festival of Sacrifice. We give glory to Almighty God for preserving our lives to witness this important celebration once again. Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the enduring virtues exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim—faith, obedience, and the willingness to sacrifice for a higher purpose. This sacred festival calls on all Muslims, and indeed all Nigerians and the whole of humanity, to embrace sacrifice, selflessness, unity, and compassion for our fellow human beings. One central lesson of Eid-el-Kabir is the call to show mercy and compassion, regardless of race, ethnicity, or creed. There is no greater example of duty and devotion than Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to offer his only son, Ismail, as a sacrifice to Allah. As a nation, we are on a journey of reconstruction and renewal. The reforms we have undertaken are challenging but necessary to build a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for future generations. Just as sacrifice brings reward, I am happy that the sacrifices and efforts we have made over the past three years have yielded a more stable economy, making our country a preferred investment destination that will drive job creation and economic growth. The walk through the dark tunnel is over, and the light is here. I am confident that, by the Grace of God, the reforms we have diligently pursued will continue to yield improved security and greater opportunities for all. I am aware that, despite the best efforts of our security and intelligence agencies—including the recent elimination of a wanted ISIS leader—heartless terrorists and bandits still attack some communities. I assure you: you are neither abandoned nor forgotten. We will ultimately defeat all the forces of evil. To our Muslim faithful, I urge you to use this sacred occasion to pray for our country, for peace in our communities, and for wisdom for those in leadership. Let us pray that those who commit crimes among us may rethink and abandon their evil ways, or face the full weight of the law. Let us also reach out to the less privileged, share with our neighbours, and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood that unite us as one people. My administration remains committed to building a Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace, worship freely, and pursue their dreams without fear. We will continue to invest in security, infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital to fulfil the great promise of our great nation. On behalf of the government, I wish you all a peaceful, joyous, and blessed Eid al-Kabir. May Allah accept our sacrifices and prayers, and may He continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Eid Mubarak! Happy Sallah! Bola Ahmed Tinubu President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria May 26, 2026

Bu Eucharia Ajuzie   Port Harcourt, Facts Happening News – Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, all 48 participating countries are expected to submit their final 26-man squads before June 1, although several nations have already unveiled their selections ahead of the deadline. Countries such as France, Croatia, Belgium, and Brazil have already announced their squads. Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti stirred debate after recalling Neymar Jr while leaving out one of the Premier League’s standout performers this season. Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has now also revealed his squad for the tournament, making some surprising and tough decisions in the process. The squad features four goalkeepers, including first-choice keeper Diogo Costa, alongside José Sá of Wolves, Rui Silva, and Ricardo Velho. In defence, Manchester City duo Matheus Nunes and Rúben Dias were selected, as well as Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot and Paris Saint-Germain star Nuno Mendes. Portugal’s midfield includes Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva, and PSG teammates Vitinha and João Neves. Leading the attack is Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo, who is set to participate in his 13th major international competition. He is joined in attack by Chelsea winger Pedro Neto and AC Milan forward Rafael Leão. One of the most talked-about omissions from the squad is West Ham United midfielder Matheus Fernandes.
