Biodun Esan, Ilorin
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has called on the people of the state, especially Muslim community, to remain faithful to God.
The Governor made the call in Ilorin in his Sallah message to the people of the state through a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye.
He extends warm congratulations to the people of the state, especially the Muslim community, on the occasion of Eid-el-Adha, which began on Friday, Dhul-Hijjah 10, 1446 A.H.
AbdulRazaq specifically sent hearty felicitations to the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the State Council of Chiefs Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, on the Eid celebrations.
According to the Governor, Eid-el-Adha symbolises the rewards of unwavering faith and total reliance on God, as well as the fulfillment of divine covenants — values exemplified in the lives of Prophets Ibrahim and Muhammad (peace be upon them).
“As we celebrate this sacred festival, I urge everyone to remain steadfast in their faith in God and in our shared commitment to the Nigerian project.
“Let us continue to promote peaceful coexistence, support sustainable development efforts, and reject anything that undermines the growth and unity of Nigeria, our fatherland.
“I wish everyone a blessed Eid and many more years of good health and happiness.
“As we celebrate, I encourage us all to continue supporting President Bola Tinubu and our administration, while staying faithful to God and the unity and collective wellbeing of our communities,” the Governor added.
