“May your sacrifices during the “Eid-el-Adha” celebration be accepted by Almighty Allah.Let us remember that the sacrifice depicts submission to the will of Almighty Allah, love for our neighbours, tolerance, peaceful co-existence, discipline and remembrance of Allah. “…for without doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction” (Holy Quran 13:vs 28),” he added.
The business mogul enjoined the Muslim ummah to let their good virtues be put into best practice.
“I call on Muslims to tolerate one another, work for national unity, integration and allow peaceful co-existence in Nigeria.”
Bemoaning the state of the nation, Secondus said that the blood of thousands of innocent souls being wasted daily in our land at various troubled spots particularly the stress of school children in the North, should be enough mitigation to plead to God to save this country from destruction.
In a message from his media office, the PDP National Chairman said Nigerians should also use the period to offer fervent prayers for the unity and stability of the nation which is seriously under threat due to insecurity and biting economic hardship arising from poor leadership.
“An intense prayer for our dear country has become very necessary more than ever before as our nationhood is in dire need of divine intervention to survive.
“Our economy is already under severe stress, the currency is loosing value daily, unemployment and inflation
rising and the APC leadership does not seem to possess the capacity to confront the challenges.
Prince Secondus noted that a solemn period like Sallah coming at this critical time in our national life, provides us an opportunity to put aside every political, religious and ethnic sentiments and unite against the prevailing common challenges of insecurity.
He implored the people however not to despair and miss the essence and meaning of Eid-el-Kabir festivity and the divine succor it brings, in assuring us that there is always a light at the end of every tunnel.
