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.
