The lawmaker representing Ikeja Constituency 2 at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu (ARK), has felicitated with the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
In his Sallah message to the Muslim faithful across the Constituency and Lagos State, Hon Kasunmu enjoined them to sustain the lessons of the season and to replicate same in their daily lives for a better society.
He also called on the Ummah not to be carried away by the pageantry of the Sallah celebrations, but to use the occasion for sober reflection and extend gestures and hands of support and fellowships to the needy in the community. The young and energetic lawmaker enjoined them to pray against the current security challenge and economic situation of the country especially as the 2023 elections campaigns are set to commence across the nation.
“I enjoin you to replicate and demonstrates in your daily lives the lessons and virtues of sacrifices, forgiveness, piety, self denial and genuine love towards one another, which the season depicts.”
“And apart from the reflections, I urge you all to also use the opportunity of this festive period to offer special prayers for the nation against the backdrop of the current security and economic situation and to lift up our people before God, especially the downtrodden – those who struggle to make ends meet, the less privileged as well as the leadership of our dear state and nation.”
“As you join the rest of the Ummah all over the world to pray and celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir, may we strive to cement the bond of unity and brotherhood as a people of common destiny. Let us continue to join hands in our spiritual obligations to contribute in the quest for building a peaceful and united Lagos and Nigeria at large.
Happy Sallah celebrations!” Hon Kasunmu concluded.
