The executive chairman of Ipaja Ayobo LCDA, Hon Bola Shobowale has felicitated with Muslim faithfuls on the celebration Of eid al Adha, in her message made available to journalists personally e-signed that reads;
One of the most important occasions in the Islamic calendar is Eid al Adha, which is observed by millions of Muslims around the world. The celebration of Eid al Adha marks the end of the hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca and its neighbouring sites. Selected Muslims from throughout the world come to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to perform the hajj every year during the last month of the Islamic calendar, known as Dhul Hijjah.
I therefore use this medium to felicitate with all Muslim faithfuls in Ayobo Ipaja LCDA and to admonish them to embrace all the holy teachings of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) as entrenched in the holy book – Quran, and practically apply it in our daily dealings with others .
The concept of being our brother’s keeper means that we make those around us happy and we should use this period of Eid-Al-Adha to reach out to the less privileged around us and make them happy.
I also urge Muslims to pray for the nation’s leaders for us to remain focus in the discharge of of our duties for the overall interest of Nigerians . Most importantly, I call for religious tolerance to endanger peaceful co-existence, unity and a prosperous Nigeria .
May the sacrifice of Eid-Al-Adha strengthen your faith in Allah and light up your world with uncountable blessings. She concluded.
Eid Mubarak!
