A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Kosofe Constituency 2 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Femi Saheed, has felicitated with the Muslim faithful on the occasion of the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir festival.
The lawmaker made this knowledge public in a statement released to the press on Saturday.
Part of the statement read, “I join the rest of Muslims across the world and Kosofe Constituency 2 in focus to share in the celebration of this year’s Eid al-Kabir Ileya festival,” he said.
He enjoined them to thank Allah for granting them the privilege of witnessing the day.
“It is a great honour for Allah to count us worthy of witnessing this day. I pray He continues His protection and mercy on everyone of us.”
The lawmaker, who distributed food to his constituents to ensure that everyone had a joyous feast, urged Muslim faithful to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice that the festival preaches in order to share the blessings Allah has bestowed on them with those who are less fortunate and to use the opportunity to pray for a more peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.
“During our Eid prayers, let us remember our nation in supplication. May Allah grant us a more peaceful and prosperous Nigeria. May he grant us successful elections and transition in the year 2023,” the honorable concluded.
