Eid-el-Kabir: Gov. Makinde urges Muslims to pray for Nigeria
Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has called on Muslim faithful in the state and across Nigeria to intensify prayers for the country.
This is contained in a message to Muslims on the 2024 Eid-el-Kabir celebration, issued in Ibadan on Saturday by the special assistant to the governor on print media, Moses Alao.
The governor, according to the statement, called on Muslims to use the opportunity of the Eid el Kabir to rededicate themselves to the service of God and for doing good to humanity.
He equally charged them to use the occasion to make more supplications to Allah for continued peace and prosperity in Oyo State and Nigeria as a country.
“As I have always said, our administration appreciates the support and prayers of the Muslim Ummah over the last five years.
“But, we desire more support and prayers because the times we are in demand that we give more; more sacrifice, more prayers and more patriotism to our state and country.
“It is my prayer that Allah will accept our worship and reward our efforts,” Mr Makinde stated.
