Eid-el-Kabir: Aiyedatiwa calls for prayers for Ondo, Nigeria

The Ondo State Governor Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa has called for the peace and progress of the state and country at large.

This is as the Muslims faithful celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir on Wednesday.

This was contained in a statement he personally signed made available to our correspondent on Tuesday.

He said, “On behalf of the Government and good people of Ondo State, I extend my warmest felicitations to you as you celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Adha.

“The Eid-el-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, reminds us of Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering faith, obedience, and willingness to submit to the will of Allah.

“It is a season that calls us to embody the virtues of sacrifice, charity, tolerance, and love for one another, regardless of religion or background.

“As an administration, we remain committed to fostering peace, unity, and religious harmony across Ondo State. I urge you to use this celebration to pray for the continued peace and progress of our dear state and Nigeria at large, and to extend a hand of generosity to the less privileged around you.”

The governor also urged the people of the state to celebrate in moderation, observe safety precautions, and uphold the peaceful disposition for which Ondo State is known.

He concluded, “May Almighty Allah accept your prayers, sacrifices, and good deeds, and grant you and your families abundant blessings, good health, and prosperity. Eid Mubarak! Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum.”
