As Muslims in Nigeria and across the world commemorate the sacred festival of Eid-el-Kabir (Eid al-Adha), the Labour Party extends its warm greetings and heartfelt felicitations to the entire Ummah on this solemn and spiritually significant occasion.
Ken Eluma Asogwa National Publicity Secretary of the party in a statement in Abuja said Eid al-Adha symbolizes the profound faith, obedience, sacrifice, and total submission exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace Be Upon Him) in his total devotion to the will of Almighty Allah. These enduring virtues remain timeless lessons not only for the faithful but also for leaders and citizens alike as we strive to build a more just, peaceful, and compassionate society.
He said beyond the festivities, this holy season calls for deep reflection, renewed spirituality, selflessness, and greater commitment to the service of humanity. It is a period to seek the mercy and guidance of Allah (SWT), strengthen our bonds with one another, and recommit ourselves to the ideals of love, humility, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence.
“At a time our nation continues to grapple with economic hardship, insecurity, hunger, and growing social and ethno-religious tensions, the values embodied by Eid al-Adha have become even more urgent and relevant. We therefore urge Nigerians to embrace compassion, generosity, and mutual understanding, especially towards the less privileged and vulnerable in society.
