365Daily – The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged Nigerians to pray for their leaders to find solutions to the challenges facing the country.
This was contained in an Eid-el-Kabir signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Lanre Lasisi, on Monday, July 19, 2021.
Calling for unity of purpose among Nigerians, the Speaker urged Muslims, especially, to imbibe the habit of sacrifice and love for one another as characterized by the Holy Prophet, Muhammad (SAW).
He further said there is more that unites Nigerians as a people, hence the need for togetherness and peaceful coexistence.
Gbajabiamila said: “We have no other country we can call our own than Nigeria.
“I congratulate my Muslim compatriots for marking this year’s Eid-el-Kabir. This is a time for us to be more united as a people.
“As Muslims, we must make frantic efforts to emulate the virtues of the Holy Prophet, whose life is a perfect example of what we all should be.
“The act of sacrifice, one of the major lessons of the Eid-el-Kabir, should be part of our lives at all times. We must make sacrifices for ourselves, our families, our friends, our neighbours, and of course, our country.
“I enjoin all of us to continue to be good citizens and make meaningful contributions for our continuous peaceful coexistence.”
