Eid-el-Fitr: Gbajabiamila Urges Muslims To Pray For End Of COVID-19 Pandemic

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has felicitated with Nigerian Muslims on concluding this year’s Ramadan and marking Eid-el-Fitr peacefully.

Gbajabiamila called on Nigerian Muslims to imbibe virtues such as feeding the needy, being their brother’s keepers and prayers for peaceful coexistence that usually come with the month of Ramadan.

According to a congratulatory message issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, he further urged Muslims to pray fervently for an end to the COVID-19 pandemic that has been ravaging countries all over the world, including Nigeria.

The speaker said Muslims should also adhere strictly to the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who he described as the best role model.

“I bring to Nigerian Muslims warm greetings at this season of Eid-el-Fitr. It is a season of remembrance of the good things that the Almighty Allah has done in our lives.

“Unfortunately, this year’s Eid-el-Fitr will be celebrated low-key, not for our own making, but that is how our Creator wills it. That is why we all must return to Him in prayers to bring an end to this COVID-19 pandemic.

“I enjoin every Nigerian Muslim to be of good character and remain the best of examples, taking after the Holy Prophet (SAW). Let’s also pray for an end to insecurity and other challenges that we face as a nation,” the speaker said.
