Eid-ul-Adha: Shagaya Greets Muslim Community, Preaches Peace, Unity

The lawmaker representing Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency

at the House of Representatives, Hon. Muktar Tolani Shagaya on Wednessday, congratulates Muslim community on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha celebrations.

Shagaya in his message urged Muslim faithfuls to imbibe the spirit of love for one another as symbolised in the celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir.

"I congratulate Muslims across the world as we celebrate 2023 Eid-el-Kabir festival. We should imbibe the spirit of love for one another as symbolised in the celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir. We must collectively eschew intolerance and uttering of unguarded comments, which are capable of causing disaffection. Let us show love, as it is only in an atmosphere of peace that national development can take place."

"As we have read from the Glorious Qur’an, just when Prophet Ibrahim was about to kill his son Ismael, Almighty Allah (SWT) put a sheep in its place. Muslims use Eid el-Kabir to celebrate Prophet Ibrahim’s complete obedience to the will of Allah and as a reminder of our own willingness to make sacrifices in obedience to Allah."

While rejoicing with our Muslim brothers on this auspicious occasion of  Eid el-Kabir Sallah celebration, which symbolises sacrifice and obedience, I wish to enjoin all people of goodwill to be steadfast in love for one another and demonstrate renewed commitment to the Nigerian project in order to make our society ideal for all and towards the fulfillment of the country’s great potentials.
