Eid-El-Kabir : Senator Tokunbo Abiru Urges Nigerians To Embrace Peaceful Co-existence, Religious Tolerance

The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA , has congratulated Muslims in the Senatorial district and across Nigeria on this year’s commemoration of Eid-el-Kabir festival.

In a goodwill message personally signed by the Distinguished Senator on Tuesday in Lagos, the lawmaker enjoined Muslims to emulate Prophet Ibrahim’s total submission to the will of Almighty Allah, whose sacrifice and heroic act of faith symbolises the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

The statement read, “ I celebrate with fellow Muslims and all Nigerians  in Lagos East Senatorial District and Nigeria at large as we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

“We should live in harmony with our neighbours and eschew acts that further widen our national fault lines. This is the time for all Nigerians to work together for nation building regardless of ethnic, political and religious background.

“I urge us to join hands with our dear President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in his quest at delivery on the renewed hope mandate.

“In less than a month in the saddle, we have all seen bold reforms and far-reaching policy decisions that are geared at rescuing our dear nation from the cliff of economic doom. Yes, tough decisions like these come with temporal discomfort, but the transient pain cannot be compared to the huge gains and development that our country will experience in the not too distant future.

“May the Almighty Allah grant all our supplications for our dear nation as we all celebrate the commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim’s (Peace be upon him) heroic act of faith and submission to the will of Almighty Allah”.
