The Emir of Ilorin and chairman, Kwara state Council of Chiefs, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has urged Muslim Ummah to sustain their religious obligations of living in peace and harmony with fellow human beings.
He also urged them to desist from actions that could bring about disunity among members of society.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari made the call in his Sallah message delivered shortly after the two rakkat prayers marking the end of the glorious month of Ramadan 1444AH at the Ilorin Central Yidi praying ground.
While congratulating the governor of Kwara state, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, the emir said, “I pray that Allah continues to guide and protect him in the course of steering the ship of the state for the second term.”
He said further that the people of Ilorin Emirate and beyond should be security-conscious by being vigilant at all times even as he congratulated them and security agents for the security arrangements made during the last general elections.
The emir prayed for the safe return of all those who went for the Holy pilgrimage of Ummrah, quick recovery for the sick and prayed to Allah to forgive the dead and give their families the courage and fortitude to bear their loss.
Earlier, in his sermon, the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheikh Muhammad Bashir Imam-Soliu, admonished Muslims to remain committed to the teachings of Allah and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at all times even after the month of Ramadan.
