Eid-El Kabir: Ex-Oyo governor, Ladoja admonishes Nigerians to imbibe spirit of love, sacrifice

 

Former Governor of Oyo State and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadan land, High Chief Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja on Tuesday congratulated Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-El-Kabir, urging Nigerians and the residents of the state to imbibe the spirit of love and sacrifice for the good of the country.

Chief Ladoja congratulate all muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration, adding that despite all challenges, God has kept Nigeria alive with his mercy.

The former governor, in a statement in Ibadan, also wished the Muslim faithful happy celebrations, just as he urged Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice and faith exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim who was ready to sacrifice his only son until a ram was provided by Allah.

It read, “We must pray for peaceful co-existence and unity of Nigeria. Every great country and people go through trials and tribulations, but with faith in God they overcome. We have a responsibility to ensure that we share what we have with the needy, and pray for the unity and peace of Nigeria.

“We have no any other country than Nigeria, so we must always live in unity and love. This occasion calls for celebration because God has kept us alive despite the challenges. I urge every one to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, embrace peace and imbibe a new level of patriotism to make our country greater, more prosperous and peaceful.

“My prayer is that Allah (SWT) will accept the act of worship and sacrifices of our Muslim brothers and sisters”, the statement added.
