I felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters as we mark the Eid-el-Kabir festivities.
On the occasion of this auspicious celebration, I urge everyone to imbibe the lesson of sacrifice, which is the hallmark of this season. We should all endeavour to seek to have a deeper and greater responsibility to God and to humanity as we reflect on the lessons of the season.
I enjoin everyone to rededicate ourselves to our Creator, working assiduously to sustain the virtues of patience, tolerance and love.
We are in dire straits as a nation, but it is a period that demands that we work together in unison and join hands across ethno-religious inclinations for our collective progress.
We are working closely with security authorities to ensure our Muslim faithful have a peaceful celebration.
His Excellency,
Godwin Obaseki
Governor, Edo State
