Cross River State governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, has urged Muslims in Nigeria, particularly those living in the state to put aside differences and push for the unity of the country.
Ayade In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Christian Ita, enjoined the ummah to imbibe attitude that portrays tolerance, sacrifice and togetherness as they mark this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.
The governor urged them to emulate Prophet Ibrahim who despite his predicaments, sacrificed to fulfil the commandment of Allah as well as constituted authority.
While wishing all Moslems happy Eid El-Kabir celebrations, Ayade prayed for Allah’s blessings and protection with endless peace and joy.
