Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah for witnessing this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival. The Governor in a goodwill message signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, urged Muslims to imbibe the lessons of love and sacrifice that the season symbolizes as they celebrate.
He urged them on the need to reflect on the significance of the sacrifice epitomized by the festival as well as promote the virtues of Islam. Governor Oyebanji urged the faithful to learn from Prophet Ibrahim who surrendered to the will of the Almighty Allah by sacrificing his son Ishmael based on Allah's injunction.
He also thanked them for living in peace and harmony with other adherents of other religions, thereby making the state one of the most peaceful states to live and work. The Governor promised to continue to carry the Muslim Community along as he does with other stakeholders in the bid to make Ekiti an enviable state in key sectors and a land of shared prosperity where everyone can find fulfilment.
