… Congratulates them on Eid-el-Kabir
The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye, has congratulated Muslims in the state on the celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.
Aribasoye, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Babajide Agbeyo, described the Muslim community as vital partners in the collective pursuit of progress in the state, commending their maturity and religious tolerance.
While praying for a peaceful and rewarding celebration, the Speaker called on Muslims to reflect on the lessons of the Holy Qur’an and uphold values such as integrity, dignity, and service to humanity.
“Muslim Ummah should take a cue from the life of the Holy Prophets and fathers in the faith by embracing perseverance, honesty, love, tolerance, and spirituality,” he advised.
The lawmaker urged Muslims to remember Ekiti State in their prayers, especially as the state prepares for another election cycle before the next Eid-el-Kabir. He noted that peace and stability are essential for the enjoyment of democratic dividends.
He also called on Islamic leaders to support government efforts by teaching their followers the importance of obeying laws that are aimed at advancing the state.
“This celebration is to comprehend, complement, and commemorate the ultimate act of devotion and obedience to Almighty Allah, demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim. In like manner, let us obey the laws of Allah at all times and also respect the laws of the land put in place by those divinely ordained to be in power,” Aribasoye charged.
The Speaker further informed the Muslim faithful that the 7th Assembly, under his leadership, has passed 24 bills into law in the last two years, all focused on the development and welfare of the people of Ekiti State.
