The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has rejoiced with Muslims in Nigeria as they celebrate Eid-el-Adha, widely regarded as the feast of sacrifice by adherents of Islam.
He urged Lagosians and Nigerians, particularly the Islamic faithful, to continue on the path of spirituality and peaceful coexistence and imbibe the lessons of the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim.
Sanwo-Olu, in his Eid-el-Kabir message issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, implored all Nigerians to keep their hopes alive and continue to work for the unity, peace and progress of the nation.
The Governor called on Nigerians and Lagosians to take some lessons from Prophet Ibrahim’s exemplary life by eschewing tendencies that could disturb the peace, unity and stability in the country.
The Governor said, as a leader, he is in tune with the current situation of the country but noted that President Bola Tinubu, at the Federal Government level, is working towards a quick and complete recovery of the nation’s economy.
He said, “On behalf of my family and the Government of Lagos State, I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters in Lagos State and in Nigeria a happy and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
