The Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, has extended warm greetings to Muslims in Nigeria and across the world as they commemorate this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.
In a Sallah goodwill message issued by his media aide, Mr. Enitan Olukotun, Senator Abiru, who chairs the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, called on Muslims to uphold the values of sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering faith as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace Be Upon Him).
“I felicitate with my Muslim brothers and sisters in Lagos East and across the country as we celebrate the blessed occasion of Eid-El-Kabir. This sacred period reminds us of the timeless lessons of devotion, humility, and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah,” Senator Abiru said.
He urged Nigerians to embrace peace, religious tolerance, and unity, especially in light of the ongoing national efforts to address economic and social challenges.
“Now more than ever, we must come together as one people, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation. Let us support our leaders at all levels, especially President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as they work tirelessly to build a more prosperous and stable Nigeria.”
Senator Abiru also highlighted the importance of steadfastness and collective responsibility in nation-building, noting that while the road to economic recovery may be challenging, unity, hope, and hard work will see the country through.
“I encourage every Nigerian to remain resilient and prayerful. This season is not just a time of celebration but of reflection, compassion, and renewal of our commitment to nation building”, he concluded.
