The Deputy Chairman of House Committee on Lake Chad Basin Commission at the Assembly enjoined Nigerians to use the unique period of Eid-el-Kabir festival to pray for the country to fully come out of its challenges that are threatening security of lives and property as well as economic well-being of average Nigerians.
Penpushing further reports that, he also urged Nigerians to persevere and show love for one another, noting that the festival provides a new opportunity to show compassion especially for the less privileged.
The Federal Lawmaker said, “only peaceful co-existence, selflessness service to the nation and total obedience to God, as was demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim could take the country to the next level”.
Penpushing also reports that, the Egbado North born lawmaker noted that Eid-el-Kabir is a celebration of trust between man and God, rooted in the fulfilment of promises; he therefore urges the people to always hold their leaders accountable and ensure they deliver on their promises.
“The significance of Eid-el-Kabir celebration is not in the blood or the flesh of the rams that are being slaughtered but the message is for people to respect terms of promises made to other entities, and it is on this note that I urge the Muslim faithful to remember that obedience to Allah and uprightness are some of the virtues of a true worshiper’, he stressed.
