Nigerians have been advised to embrace love, peace and fear of God in their day to day interactions with a view to imbibing the lessons taught by the celebration of Edl-Kabir.
This was contained in Eid-el Kabir message from Senator Kola Ogunwale, the Asiwaju of Iragbiji to Muslim faithful.
Senator Ogunwale noted that if there are discrepancies among the various ethnic groups in the country, issue of equality should be addressed to settle them.
He stated that with equality and fairness to all, addressed by the authorities, all the vices plaguing the society will be eradicated naturally.
Not treating other people equally, Ogunwale said, is counter to the laws of God, which enjoin justice, fair play and equity among the ruling class.
These virtues, the Asiwaju of Iragbiji said, are what is lacking in the society today and should be thoroughly addressed by the authorities.
Senator Ogunwalereiterated that whatever challenges the country is passing through, there is the need for love and fellowship as human lives are too precious to be wasted as being witnessed through various dastardly acts.
Ogunwale said Islam is a religion of peace, love and obedience to God, advising Muslim faithful to always follow the tenets laid down in the Quran and Sunnah as everybody will give account of his or her stewardship to God on the Day of Judgment.
Calling for a stop to the issues of rampant kidnapping, banditry insurgency by those involved, Ogunwale advised politicians to play by the rules and avoid rancour and bitterness in the pursuit of their political aspirations.
