Oshiomhole, APC national chairman
The
All Progressives Congress (APC) Monday wished Muslim faithful a
joyous celebration of Eid-El-Kabir, the holy Islamic festival to
commemorate the obedience and willingness of Ibrahim to follow
Almighty Allah's (SWT) command to sacrifice his son.
A
statement issued by Yekini Nabena, Ag.
National Publicity Secretary said: “On
this momentous occasion, we share below the inspiring message by Imam
Abdullahi Abubakar, the 83-year old Islamic cleric who courageously
saved the lives of over 300 multi-faith people in Nghar village,
Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Plateau State when conflict broke
out there in June.
“The
holy prophet Mohammed lived in peace and harmony with diverse groups
of different faiths. In following his teaching and steps, we must all
appreciate the fact that the Almighty Allah created us with our
diversities. We must embrace the diversity and strive to live in
peace with one another. If Almighty Allah wanted us to be the same,
it would have been so, but Almighty Allah brought us together to
create a harmony. We should all respect one another and be selfless
advocates for peace for we are all of equal values in the eyes of the
Almighty Allah.
“The
APC enjoins Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of love, sacrifice and
peaceful coexistence. It is only in an environment of peace we can
achieve meaningful and true development we desire for our great
country, Nigeria.
“We
urge all Nigerians to continuously support and pray for the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in its determination in
to steer the country on the right path and deliver of election
promises.”
