Eidel Kabir : Let Virtues of Love, Prayers for Nigeria Outlive  Sallah – Ex Ekiti Guber, Adaramodu 

The policy expert in his Sallah message enjoined Muslims to dedicate themselves to good virtues as exemplified by the noble prophet .

The Ilawe-Ekiti  born politician appealed  to  Muslims to intensify prayer for peace to reign in the country.

According to him,  Eid el- Kabir is a festival of sacrifice, hence, leaders and followers must desist from asking what their state and their country can do for them rather, ask what they can do for their country to record actual development, and be ready to make the sacrifice.

He also stressed  the need for selfless sacrifice to end insecurity in most parts must be the concern of all and sundry and the job of National Security is the responsibility of all.

Adaramodu urged Muslims in Ekiti state and Nigeria as a whole to prioritise national security and unity and economic fortunes for the country in their prayers this year.

While thanking Almighty Allah for sparing the lives of the muslims to witness the festival, he berated different attacks happening across the country. He said it was high time people across demography concerted effort to make the country a better place

He prayed to Almighty Allah to accept the sacrifice by muslims as an act of Ibadah urging people to continue the acts and virtues of this time beyond the period of Sallah celebrations.

“Eid-el-Kabir festival offers another opportunity for sober reflection and spiritual renewal which Allah demands from the faithful. Nigerians need to imbibe the lessons of commitment, dedication and loyalty. Leaders must be loyal to the course of the followers while the followers must also demonstrate patriotism as exemplified by God and Prophet Ibraheem on the sacrifice of his son in deference to the will of God, which Eid-el-Kabir commemorates.

“This symbolic Islamic festival is a constant reminder to us that, there is the need for trust, hope and faithfulness to God. It also reminds us of the sacrifice we are to make not only for spiritual fulfilment but for the development of our society and advancement of humanity.

“Development and progress would only be achieved in an atmosphere of peace, unity and mutual respect. We must, therefore, eschew situations that can further divide us as a people.” the statement reads.

Adaramodu also urged Muslim faithful to pray for peace in the country, as they perform the Arafat rites. He prayed to Almighty Allah to accept the sacrifice by muslims as an act of Ibadah urging people to continue the acts and virtues of this time beyond the period of Sallah celebrations.
