NICASA President, Mr Ben Okoli, made this known in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
Okoli, while congratulating Muslim faithful on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebrations globally, pledged the support of the Nigerian community in South Africa to Tinubu to achieve meaningful growth.
“As usual, the spirit of the celebration is high and Nigerians in South Africa are celebrating Sallah, especially with high hope on the new government in place.
“People are celebrating with the hope of a greater future. According to our Muslim brothers and sisters, the mood is high.
“Their expectation is high; there is the belief that Sallah prayers will bring a better and brighter future for our fatherland.
“So, we celebrate with the Muslim faithful and we will continue to support Nigeria and the programmes of President Bola Tinubu.
“It is a new government, especially with the Sallah celebration, we believe God will bless Nigeria and the new administration,” he said.
