Gov. Fayemi Congratulate Muslims On Eid-El-Kabir

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated the Muslims in the state and in the country as they join other faithful Muslims around the world to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.

In a goodwill message signed by his chief press secretary, Yinka Oyebode, on Saturday, the governor encouraged the Muslim Ummah to carry on the lessons of love, loyalty and sacrifice which form the foundation of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, during and after the festivities.

Fayemi also urged the Muslim Ummah to see the Eid-el-Kabir festival as an opportunity for spirit renewal and sober reflection as demanded by almighty Allah from the Muslims.

As the governor was congratulating the faithful Muslims for witnessing another celebration, he also called for collaboration with the disciples of other religions in the country in the pursuit for peace and progress.

He also urged them to keep praying for the country so that peace and stability will be restored in the troubled spots.

According to him, Nigerians need to assimilate the lessons of commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority as demonstrated in Prophet Ibraheem’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to the word of God.

“It is only through love for one another and commitment to peace, security and stability that our country can progress,” he opined.

“As we celebrate this year’s Eid-el- Kabir, it is important we remember our dear country and ask for divine intervention in the security situation as well as restoration of peace in the troubled areas.

“I extend warm greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Ekiti State and Nigeria as a whole as we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival. I believe the prayers of the faithful can get us the peace and prosperity our country needs.”he concluded.
