Eid-El-Kabir: Obaseki urges Muslims to reflect on key messages of festival
Assures of improved security, consequences for violent behaviour
“This year, we are celebrating the Eid-El-Kabir differently because of the disruptions caused by Coronavirus . This makes it more pertinent for us to reflect on the key messages of Eid which are sacrifice and penitence, which bring us blessings and hope.” He explained that “Our strategy to screen, test, and treat has been acknowledged by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the Federal Ministry of Health as one of the most coordinated and effective responses by any state in Nigeria.
Obaseki further said that “This mortality rate is of serious concern to the state government because many of these deaths could have been prevented if citizens adhered to COVID-19 prevention regulations. I am therefore urging everyone to observe the guidelines to prevent the spread of Coronavirus such as regular hand washing under running water and use of alcohol-based sanitiser; and avoiding gatherings with a large number of persons.
“Political activities leading to the governorship election on September 19 have commenced. I appeal to everyone to exercise caution and observe the regulatory guidelines for the prevention of COVID-19 during electioneering campaigns. He highlighted his administration’s readiness to ensure that the state is secure for the forthcoming gubernatorial election.“With heightened political activities, we are witnessing a very disturbing increase in the incidence of violence, vandalism, and thuggery in the state.
