The Okanlomo of Ibadan land, Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi, has felicitated with Muslim brothers and sisters across the nation on this year's commemoration of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
"This occasion is a special time in the lives of Muslims and in the Muslim calendar. It is a day, when Muslims gather on Mount Ararat and take their stand (wuquf) of faith before Allah, seeking His mercy and forgiveness," said Senator Adesoji Akanbi.
"As we celebrate, let us all, recall the essence of the day, the great virtues of the Great Prophet Mohammed, which are obedience, sacrifice and faith. Let us inculcate the habit of being patient with one another in everything we do."
Akanbi seized the opportunity to urge all Nigerians generally, irrespective of faith or religious calling, to be patient with the present government.
"At last we are grateful for a new government and the fact that this government has hit the ground running, with unique policies that would re-model and re-channel Nigeria once again towards unity and purposeful development. However, we must realise that the much needed development cannot all be achieved in just few weeks of a new government, but from the body language and the commitment of President Bola Tinubu which we have so far witnessed, the country shall certainly be alright, and Nigerians shall definitely start smiling soon," Senator Adesoji Akanbi added.
