The Member representing Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency, Rep. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo , has felicitated with Muslim Faithfuls across the Nation on the occasion of the 2021 Eid-El-Kabir Festival
The Chairman of the House Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) said this in his Eid-el-Kabir Message to the Muslim faithfuls, signed by his Special Adviser on New Media, Alao Babatunde.
He noted that Nigeria would make quicker progress towards the fulfilment of its great potentials as a nation if its citizens foster peace, security and stability which are essential for development.
He also congratulated them for their resilience and steadfastness even in the face of the current realities, one of which is the recent outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic which made it impossible for many Muslim faithfuls to perform their rites of the Hajj in the Holy Land.
The lawmaker, popularly called BTO, also enjoined them all not to relent in prayers for the nation at large.
He said, “I urge our Islamic brethren to offer special prayers for peace, harmony, unity, security and progress in our fatherland.”
“I also urge you, as always, to find time in the midst of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration to meditate on the immense benefits our nation can derive from a greater exhibition by its people of piety, honesty, selflessness, tolerance, peaceful co-existence with others, equity, fairness and justice for all, which are integral parts of the message of the Holy Prophet,” he added.
