Saraki wants prayers for peace, economic recovery
President of the
Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Sunday felicitated with the
Muslim faithful in the country as they celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir
festivities, urging them to pray for peace and accelerated recovery of
the nation’s economy.
Saraki, in his
Sallah message signed by his Special Adviser, (Media and Publicity),
Yusuph Olaniyonu in Abuja, also urged Nigerians to remain steadfast and
committed to the cause of one, united and developed Nigeria.
He observed that
despite the current economic challenges, the country and its people
have all that is required to come out better and stronger.
He called on all
Nigerians to live in harmony with one another irrespective of ethnic
or religious affiliations, adding that the significance of the
Eid-el-Kabir festival is to celebrate the true love and grace of
Almighty Allah to mankind through sacrifice, devotion and faith.
Saraki said: “I
sincerely rejoice with all Nigerians, especially the Muslim faithful on
yet another Eid-el-Kabir which is both a period of sacrifice and
obedience to divine guidance and a time to share our resources with our
neighbours no matter how little.”
“It is also a
call on all of us to love one another, eschew all forms of violence,
adhere strictly to the noble tenets of Islam and peaceful coexistence.
We must not relent in being our brothers’ keeper and playing our part
to achieve the New Nigeria of our dreams.
