Eid-al-Adha: Reps Minority Caucus Felicitates with Muslim Faithful Across Nigeria

JOEL OLADELE, Abuja

The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has congratulated the entire Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the Eid-al-Adha celebrations, commemorating the acts of faith and selfless sacrifices of Prophet Ibrahim (Peace Be Upon Him) in exemplary obedience to Allah.

This was contained in a Sallah message jointly signed by the caucus leaders,
Minority Leader, Rep. Kingsley Chinda,
Minority Whip, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ali Isa J.C,
Deputy Minority Leader, Rt. Hon. Aliyu Madaki, Deputy Minority Whip, Rt. Hon. George Ozodinobi.

The caucus in the message said: “This act of worship and sacrifice exhibited by the Prophet has become a reference point for all of mankind in how we are to obey and serve God Almighty at all times and in all conditions.

“The universality of this occasion also draws all of humanity together in a remarkable celebration of our commonness as human beings,” the statement read.

As Muslim brethren across the country join others around the world to mark this momentous occasion, the Caucus therefore urged all Nigerians to reflect, imbibe, and sustain the significance and values of this period.

“We therefore admonish all our citizens to be abiding practitioners of the enduring lessons taught by the story of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH), which include faith, obedience, generosity, sacrifice, empathy, and love, which are very essential ingredients that will help our country overcome its economic, social, political and security challenges.

“Finally, as our Muslim brethren savour the warmth and joy of the celebrations, the Caucus joins hands with them in offering prayers and supplications unto the Almighty for the amelioration of our country’s enormous challenges and for selflessness amongst not our leaders,” the Caucus said.
