The Governor of Ebonyi State Southeast Nigeria, Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has extended warmest felicitations to Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-al-Adha celebration.
Governor Nwifuru who views the season from ideological lense says it is characterised by deep reflection, sacrifice, gratitude, and renewed devotion to the values of peace, compassion, and unity called on Muslim ummahs to remain solitarily confined to Allah’s dictates in a time like this.
In his goodwill message to Muslims, the Governor invites them to recall that Eid-al-Adha is a season that “reminds us of the strength of faith, the power of self-discipline, and above all the importance of caring for one another, especially the less privileged among us”.
Mutual respect
The Governor encouraged them to continue to uphold the virtues of tolerance, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence that are essential for the unity and progress of the state and nation.
“Our administration remains committed to building a united, secure, and prosperous Ebonyi State, where people of all faiths can live in harmony and pursue their aspirations without fear or discrimination,” Nwifuru said.
The Sariki of Hausa in Ebonyi State, Alhaji Danjuma Gambo also encouraged all the Muslim faithfuls to always exhibit peaceful, compassionate manner in all they do even as they celebrate.
