Aregbesola Urges Muslim Faithful To Pray For Nigeria’s Unity

 

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state has called on Muslim faithful to use the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir to pray for peace, unity and the stability of Nigeria.

The governor in a statement called on Nigerians to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari in his determination to build a peaceful and harmonious country.‎

He urged adherents of Islam to imbibe the lessons of commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority as demonstrated by Prophet Ibraheem’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to the will of God, which the Eid-El-Kabir commemorates.

He said: ”The celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir must draw us closer to God than ever before,” he said.

”We should all strife to avoid negative tendencies which could further compound our fragile socio-political and economic conditions to the limit.

”We should stop the prevalence of hate speeches in the country and divisive acts and utterances that are threat to the corporate existence of the country.”
