The Senator representing Niger East, Mohammed Sani Musa, has felicitated with Muslims in his Senatorial zone and across the country on this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
He particularly enjoined Muslims to imbibe the spirit of unity, tolerance for a peaceful coexistence.
In a statement issued by his media office in Abuja, Monday, Senator Musa admonished the teeming Muslim population and commended them for the roles they have played in sustaining the peace, unity and development of the nation despite the numerous challenges confronting them.
Senator Musa who is also the Chairman Senate Committee on Senate Services also advised Nigerians to shun acts that are capable of heating the polity.
He noted that the diverse nature of the Nigerian people is the main source of her strength and unity, saying, “We stand to lose a lot if we continue to dwell on what divides us rather than focus on what unites us as people.”
He urged the good people of his constituency to continue to rededicate themselves to the onerous task of nation building while noting that the essence of the Eid-el-Kabir festival, which symbolises the voluntary obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (ASW) to the commands of Allah and the demonstration of his faith in his maker must be emulated by all.
Senator Sani Musa added that he was committed to the well-being and development of his constituent.
He praised them for their resilience and patient in the face of the insecurity bedeviling his people.
“I will not leave you, I will continue to strive hard to bring government closer to my people and see to their welfare because, we are in this together,” he stated.
