Eid-el-Kabir: Express, extend love for peaceful coexistence – Soludo
ANAMBRA State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has admonished Muslims to emulate the righteousness and great virtues of Prophet Muhammad, stressing that the essence of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration is to offer sacrifice, express and extend love, for a peaceful coexistence in the country and the world at large.
Governor Soludo, in a release signed by his press secretary, Mr. Christian Aburime, felicitated with Muslims in Nigeria on the occasion of the 2022 Eid-el-Kabir celebration and urged them to use the occasion to reflect on the state of the nation and live in peace with one another.
He urged Muslims in Nigeria to celebrate with modesty and to remember the less-privileged among them.
While stating that love is central for God’s mercies and blessings to flourish, Governor Soludo, who asked them to learn to love and accommodate one another, charged them to let the teachings of humility and love of the Eid-el-Kabir define their relationship with fellow Muslims and other citizens.
According to the release, the governor also encouraged them not to lose hope in the country, irrespective of the security and economic challenges but to pray for the country especially as the march for the 2023 general election gathers steam, adding that without peace, not much can be achieved.
