The Special Adviser to Gov Makinde On Education Intervention, Honourable Oloye Suraj Abiodun Tiamy has on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha celebrations advised Nigerians to follow all the lessons of the season saying, all Muslims need to make individual sacrifices in spreading Love, Tolerance and Peace among other religious adherents.
Tiamy in a statement issued and made available to the newsmen shortly after Eid prayer in Ibadan on Sunday, said: “Nigeria will make quicker progress towards the fulfilment of its great potentials as a nation if its citizens foster peace, security and stability which are essential for development by showing greater respect for national safety and public laws.”
The S.A to the Gov urged Muslim Faithfuls and all Nigerians by extension to imbibe the lessons of commitment, dedication and obedience to higher authority inherent in Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son “in fulfillment of the covenant made to God which Eid-ul-Adha commemorates”.
He reminded Muslims to always be guided by the attributes and lessons from the life and times of Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) which symbolizes piety, peace, love, tolerance and humanitarian.
Honourable Tiamy also congratulated all Nigerian pilgrims especially from Oyo State for performing 1445A.H Hajj rites in fulfilment of a key injunction of their faith, urging them to fervently pray for Oyo and the Nation at large saying: “We must put Nigeria first in all our endeavours.”
