Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has felicitated with Muslims as they celebrate Eid-el-Kabir.
The governor urged Muslim faithful to emulate the Prophet Mohammed by imbibing the ideals of sacrifice exemplified by the Holy Prophet.
This was contained in his Sallah message signed by Sir Festus Ahon, chief press secretary to the governor in Asaba.
The Governor noted that Eid-el-Kabir was a season of love, peace, togetherness and sacrifice.
He urged Nigerians to continue to embrace peaceful co-existence, show love and care to one another irrespective of their religion or tribe.
He called on Muslims and indeed Nigerians to continue praying for the peace and progress of the nation.
He assured the Muslim faithful of peaceful celebration across the state, as the government was in touch with security agencies to ensure that they celebrate the Sallah in peace and harmony.
He added that his administration will partner with the Muslim community in the state to move the state forward.
He said; “we must use the Eid-el-Kabir celebration to reflect further and pray for our country to overcome the many problems confronting it.
“This year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration is coming shortly after a smooth transition from one civil rule to another at the presidency and most of the states of the nation.
“As a people, we must be patient with government at all levels as we move to consolidate on the reigns of governance across the country.
“As you celebrate, let us learn to be our brother’s keeper by ensuring peaceful co-existence among one another irrespective of tribe and religious belief”.
