Eid-el-Kabir: Saraki seeks re-dedication to nation building

The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, on Thursday
called on Nigerians to re-dedicate themselves to the dreams and
aspirations of building a strong, united, economically sound and
politically stable country.

Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and
Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, felicitated with Muslim faithful on
the occasion of this year’s Eid- El-Kabir.

He urged Nigerians irrespective of religion to use the occasion
to pray for the greater glory of the country.

He said that the Muslim festival which fell on Jummat day
(Friday) “is unique as it carries a dual promise that all prayers
offered during the Eid and Jummat have double assurance of bringing
Allah’s blessing to Muslim faithful and their country.’’

“It is significant that the Eid-El-Kabir and Jummat will be
celebrated in one day.

“This tells us that all prayers offered during this solemn day
will no doubt command double mercies of Allah towards us all,” he
said.

Saraki called on all Muslims to seek Allah’s grace for the
peace, unity, security and economic development of the country.

He enjoined Nigerians to pray for the good health of President
Muhammadu Buhari and God’s guidance for all persons in positions of
authority.

”This is a time we must be our brothers’ keeper by sharing what
we have with them.

”This is a time we must pray for our leaders, especially
President Muhammadu Buhari and all those saddled with the
responsibilities of leadership at all levels in our country.

”With prayers, I have no doubt that God will inspire and guide
our leaders to initiate and sustain policies and programmes that
will guarantee peace, security, economic growth, political
stability and social cohesion in our nation, ” he said.

Saraki said that he had no doubt that this year would witness
the strong rebound of the nation’s economy and the positive effects
would trickle down to individual homes and help citizens to realise
their goals and aspirations.

”I call on all our brothers and sisters, fellow Nigerians, to be
law abiding and support the present administration in its bid to
tackle the problems of insecurity, unemployment, corruption and
underperforming economy.

”I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters a peaceful,
rewarding and blessed Eid-El-Kabir. May Allah accept our
supplications,” he said.
