Eid-el-Kabir: Ibiyemi felicitates with Muslims, sues for endurance

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Dr. Samuel Ibiyemi, has felicitated with Muslims in the country as they celebrate the Eid-el-kabir, which he said is about sacrifice, endurance, fulfillment, and seeking blessings and forgiveness from the Almighty Allah, the creator of mankind.

Ibiyemi, in his goodwill message, said the lessons of Eid-el-Kabir should be translated to our daily lives and work towards ensuring unity, peace and progress of the country.

“Eid al -Adha, the “Festival of Sacrifice”, begins on the tenth day and ends on sunset of the twelfth, during this month Muslim pilgrims from all around the world congregate at Mecca to visit the Kaaba.

“The Hajj is performed on the eighth, ninth and the tenth of this month. Day of Arafat takes place on the ninth of the month and is also a relevant period for the Muslim Ummah as it gives opportunity to the muslim faithful to move closer to Almighty God,” he said.

Ibiyemi also congratulated the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, on the 2022 Eid-el-Kabir celebration and urged the people of the state to vote for him in the coming gubernatorial election in the state.

Ibiyemi, therefore, said the spirit of sacrifice, which Eid-al Adha embodies in the lives of Muslims, should be demonstrated in the coming months to promote peace and harmony in the coming Governorship election in the State.
