The Minority caucus in the House of Representatives has congratulated Nigerians, especially Muslim faithful on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el Kabir celebration.
Rep. Ndudi Elumelu, in a statement on Thursday, also called on leaders at all levels to use the occasion to reflect on the demand of selfless service to the people.
According to Elumelu, “the Eid-el Kabir offers us all, especially leaders, great lessons in selflessness and sacrificial living in all our dealings.
“Those in leadership must bear in mind that the positions they occupy are bestowed on them by God and as such requires total obedience to God and selfless service to the people”.
Elumelu also urged all Nigerians to use the occasion to strengthen their trust in God as the only solution to the challenges they face, for which all must continue in supplication and obedience to his will.
He further called on all citizens to use the Eid-el Kabir “to reinforce their commitment towards the unity and stability of the nation as well as strengthen their love for one another especially at this critical time in our national and global history”.
He urged Nigerians across the nation to pray that God intervenes in the corruption and insecurity that are ravaging every sector of our economy and communities respectively.
The lawmaker also called on Nigerians to remain vigilant in their celebration mood, adhere to all COVID-19 protocols of social distancing, personal hygiene and other government directives, especially as related to public gatherings
