Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, has enjoined the
Muslim Ummah and Nigerians in general to imbibe the spirit of
sacrifice, love and tolerance for the peace, unity and progress
of the country.
In
a goodwill message to Muslims to mark the Eid el-kabir Sallah
celebration, Speaker Dogara also charged religious leaders to always
preach and promote ethno-religious tolerance as well as foster peace
and unity among the people ahead of the 2019 general elections for
the good of the nation.
"While
rejoicing with our Muslim brothers on this auspicious occasion of
Eid el-Kabir Sallah celebration, which symbolises sacrifice and
obedience, I wish to enjoin all people of goodwill to be
steadfast in love for one another and demonstrate renewed commitment
to the Nigerian project in order to make our society ideal for all
and towards the fulfillment of the country's great potentials".
"I
also urge our religious leaders to take advantage of the season and
preach peace, unity and tolerance among the diverse people,
especially now that the country is at critical political
crossroads, with the electioneering process gaining momentum as the
2019 general elections draw nearer".
"On
our part as lawmakers, we will continue to pursue people-oriented
legislations and initiate reforms and legislative interventions that
will guarantee peace and stability in the polity and the nation as a
whole as well as improve the living conditions of the citizens".
