Oba of Benin felicitates Muslims on Eid Kabir
The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, has extended warm greetings to Muslims across Nigeria in celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.
This is contained in a statement on Saturday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Oba, Osaigbovo Iguobaro.
Oba Ewuare urged Muslims to reflect on the Holy Quran’s teachings while observing the sacred Feast of Sacrifice.
He noted that Islamic principles shape daily life and would ultimately hold individuals accountable on the Day of Judgement.
The Oba offered prayers for national leaders, seeking peace, good health, wisdom, and steady progress throughout this festive period.
He reminded Muslims of the core values of Eid Kabir, urging renewed commitment to sacrifice, charity, and compassion toward one another.
The traditional ruler also prayed to God for enduring peace and unity in Nigeria, invoking blessings from his “royal ancestors.”
