CAN: Christians felicitate Adamawa Muslims on sallah celebration
Stephen Mamza, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Adamawa, has felicitated Muslims on the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Mr Mamza, also the Catholic bishop of Yola, sent his congratulations in a statement on Wednesday.
He said every religious festival is an invitation for all.
“The Eid-el-Kabir is indeed an invitation for us to reflect on the importance of what we need to sacrifice in order to ensure that as humans we are filled with pride and happiness,” the Catholic clergyman stated.
He added, “Being a feast of sacrifice and humility, therefore, I see this celebration as an opportunity for us to be selfless so as to be guided in harnessing our diversity for the growth of our country Nigeria.”
According to him, to realise this, there is a need for men and women who, not minding their religious or political affiliations, seek to work for the common good of society.
“As I congratulate you on this great celebration, therefore, I assure you, on behalf of all Christians of Adamawa State, of our readiness to cooperate with you as we seek to make Nigeria one great nation where the potentials of citizens are cherished and utilised for nation-building,” the CAN leader in Adamawa explained.
