Member representing Oṣogbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Olubukola Oyewo, has enjoined Muslim faithful to demonstrate the virtue of selfless sacrifice as they celebrate this year's Eid-el-Kabir festival.
In a statement issued in Oṣogbo yesterday by Rep Oyewo's media and publicity team, the lawmaker said: "While I join my Muslim brothers and sisters to celebrate this holy day, I urge you all to reflect on the essence of the festival. Eid-el-Kabir presents an opportunity for us to ponder over the faith demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim, who willingly agreed to sacrifice his cherished son in obedience to the command of Allah."
The federal parliamentarian called on Nigerians to eschew all forms of recrimination and imbibe self-sacrifice, forgiveness and other higher virtues that promote national unity and development.
Rep. Olubukola Oyewo further charged all Muslims across his domain to pray for a peaceful, violence-free and successful 2022 Osun gubernatorial election. According to him, “In the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir celebration, I enjoin our Muslim brothers and sisters to pray for a hitch-free Osun governorship poll”.
Oyewo, while seeking the people's continued support for his political party, APC and its candidate in the July 16 governorship election, urged residents to complement Governor Oyetola's efforts in building a greater Osun that will work for all through the developmental agenda of his administration.
