We Must Make Sacrifices For Our Country – Gbajabiamila in Eid el-Kabir Message

Speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has called on Nigerians to contribute meaningfully towards ensuring peaceful existence in the country.

This is contained in an Eid-el-Kabir message released on Monday by the speaker of the House of Representatives.

Gbajabiamila said Nigerians need to be united in tackling the challenges confronting the country.

He said Nigerians, especially Muslims, should use the spirit of the Eid-el-Kabir celebration to pray for wisdom for leaders.

“I congratulate my Muslim compatriots for marking this year’s Eid-el-Kabir. This is a time for us to be more united as a people,” he said.

“As Muslims, we must make frantic efforts to emulate the virtues of the Holy Prophet, whose life is a perfect example of what we all should be.

“The act of sacrifice, one of the major lessons of the Eid-el-Kabir, should be part of our lives at all times. We must make sacrifices for ourselves, our families, our friends, our neighbours, and of course, our country.

He encouraged Nigerians to continue to be good citizens and make meaningful contributions for our continuous peaceful coexistence.”
