Embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has put his case with the Code of Conduct Tribunal aside to wish Muslims a happy Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Saraki enjoined all Muslims to be god-fearing and always put God first in all that they do, stating that Eid-el-Kabir symbolised man’s wish to live by the precepts of his creator as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
Furthermore, he called on all Nigerians to shun factionalism and disunity, as a house divided against itself could not stand.
He said: “we will tolerate one another, work together and be able to harness our abundant resources as a progressive nation. We cannot achieve much with unnecessary factions and disharmony. What Nigerians need now is to move forward with the present change era.”
Emphasizing his believe in Nigeria’s ability to overcome its challenges, the former Kwara state governor said: “We have herculean tasks to address. Our army of unemployed graduates and youths are hovering on the street.
“Insecurity is threatening the peace and social development of our dear nation, quality health care services and economic buoyancy are major challenges that require urgent attention.
“I am very optimistic that with our collective efforts, these challenges are surmountable and we will soon overcome.”
