Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, says only peaceful co-existence, selflessness and obedience to Allah and the laws will take Nigeria to the promised land.This is contained in a message signed by his Special Adviser (Media), Uche Anichukwu, to the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Eid-El-Kabir.
Ekweremadu noted that “the essence of life is obedience to Allah as well as service and love to both Allah and humanity.”
He observed that corruption, greed, and willful disobedience to Allah and the teachings of the prophets were largely responsible for the many challenges facing the nation.
He said that selflessness, justice and total submission to the will of Allah epitomised by Prophet Mohammud, would restore the nation on the path of speedy growth and transformation.
“We must, therefore, not only seize the opportunity of the Eid-El-Kabir to pray for the peace, unity, security and prosperity of the nation.
“We must also resolve to show high sense of patriotism, submission to the rule of law.
“We also must show emulation of the great values of selflessness and love for one another to ensure that Nigeria reclaims her pride of place among the comity of nations,'' he said.
The deputy senate president wished the Muslim Ummah and the nation a hitch-free Eid-El-Kabir celebration.
