Eidel-Kabir: Obi congratulates Muslims

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has Congratulated Muslims on the celebration of the  2015 Eidel-Kabir celebration.  In his message made available to the press, he urged Nigerians to  be reminded about the  spiritual message which the feast contains and signifies for the entire human society.

Part of his message reads: "The successful conclusion of the annual hajj, upon which the Sallah festivity rests, is an apt reminder that human society must be imbued with those values that lead to and reflect the brilliance of God."

Further, he said: "As the Sallah celebration underscores love, friendship, brotherliness, charity and generosity, among other values, we are reminded of the virtues of harmonious co-existence in a diverse society like ours.  Greatness will come to nations that consciously plan and work for it through consensus and confidence-building measures."

Speaking on the demands of Sallah, Obi said that as we shared in the joy and fun of Sallah, that Nigerians should at all times remember that hard work and discipline were essential to safeguarding the future. He therefore called on Nigerian to  reflect always on the goodness of God which, according to him,  correspondingly demands greater comportment on our part.

Concluding, he submitted:  "To move our country and society forward, we must constantly look inward and toward the almighty Allah."
