Lanlehin, who charged them to
imbibe the lessons of love, sacrificial living and godliness, which are the
central theme of Eid-el-Kabir, prayed to God to keep them alive; to celebrate
many more, in good health, spiritual and material provisions, and Allah’s
abundance.
Lanlehin, who represented Oyo
South Senatorial District between 2011 and 2015, while using the occasion of
the Eid-el-Kabir festivity to charge people of Oyo State to continue to give
their support to the government of Engineer Seyi Makinde to bring about a
better life for them, as well as regain lost grounds in the state, particularly
in terms of good governance, wished the governor, and his deputy, Engr Rauf
Olaniyan, happy celebrations.
“I felicitate my Muslim
brothers and sisters on the occasion of another Eid-el-Kabir, a symbolic moment
to reflect on Allah’s love for humanity and the need to serve and worship him.
I appeal to the rich, affluent, and well-to-do, to remember to extend a hand of
help to the less privileged, so we all can have enjoyable celebrations,” he
said.
Equally, Lanlehin while calling
on Nigerians in general, and Muslims in particular, to use this year’s Eid-el
Kabir to genuinely pray for Nigeria, especially at a time like this, when she
is confronted with a myriad of challenges, maintained that prayers of the
faithful go a long way in putting things right.
Senator Lanlehin also extended
his Eid-el Kabir felicitations to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Akanmu
Adetunji, Aje Ogungunniso I, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III,
Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Jimoh Oladunni Oyewumi, Ajagungbade III, Iyalode of
Ibadanland, Chief (Mrs) Theresa Oyekanmi, Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Sheik
AbdulGaniyy Abubakri Agbotomokekere, Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta
States, Alh Daud Makanjuola Akinola, as well as former Oyo State deputy
governor, Ambassador Taofeek Oladejo Arapaja, Mogajis, Baalẹs, and every
Muslim; heartily wishing them all, happy celebrations.
