President Muhammadu Buhari and members of the immediate family have observed the Eid Al-Fitr prayer in the presidential villa. The president’s choice to observe the prayer in the Aso Rock was in accordance with the COVID-19 protocol stipulated by the presidential steering committee (PSC).
Buhari was joined by Ahmed Lawan, senate president Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives; Babagana Monguno, national security advisor; Ibrahim Gambar, chief of staff and other aides to observe the Truth. Aisha Buhari, the first lady, was also observed praying with her brothers in the presidential villa. Before, the president had said he will observe a personal Eid Al-Fitr in the presidential villa, without receiving visitors. Big congregational prayers usually come following the month-long Ramadan fast but using all the COVID-19 pandemic, the prayers have been limited to small parties.
