Fayemi greets Muslims at Sallah
The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of the Eid- el- Kabir, urging them to uphold the lessons of love, loyalty and sacrifice which the festival teaches.
Fayemi, in a goodwill message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Olayinka Oyebode, said the Eid el-Kabir festival also offers another opportunity for sober reflection, soul searching and spiritual renewal which Allah demands from the faithful.
He advised that the lessons of sacrifice and loyalty, which Eid-el-Kabir teaches should not be lost to the pomp and ceremony that accompany the festival. According to him, Allah brought victory and joy to Prophet Ibrahim and his son, Ismail, after the duo demonstrated uncommon sense of sacrifice in fulfilling his will.
Fayemi, while urging Nigerians to continue to pray and work for peace in the country, urged the Muslim faithful and adherents of other faiths to make peaceful coexistence and harmony their watchwords in the quest for a greater and more prosperous Nigeria.
“It is only through the fear of God, love for one another and commitment to peaceful living, that we can collectively confront our challenges as a nation and build the Nigeria of our dreams”, Fayemi added.
