The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, has admonished Muslims in the country to learn to keep promises and love their neighbours.
In his goodwill message to mark this year’s Eid-l-Adha, the APC chairman advised Muslims to always stand firm in defence of their beliefs and promises, noting that this was what made Prophet Ibrahim stood out as a righteous man.
Ojelabi, who feted some Muslim leaders in Lagos, advised them to always live peacefully with their fellow citizens so as to make love and respect triumph in the country.
“Your sacrifice should always be charity to the poor, good deeds and submission to the almighty Allah. It is my prayer that Allah (SWT) will accept your Ibada (Ameen).
“I use this festive moment to enjoin you to continue to be your brother’s keeper and promote unity always,” he advised them.
Ojelabi urged them to continue to live in harmony with one another in fulfilment of Allah’s teachings and the lessons of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W).
He appealed to them to remember the less privileged, the poor during the festivity and allow the fear of Allah to guide them in all their conducts.
He encouraged Muslims to, at all times, continue to imbibe the virtues and the symbolic impact of the commemoration of the sacrifice made by prophet Ibrahim.
“I want to encourage you to devote more time to pray for our state, Lagos, the nation and all our leaders at all levels, that God should lead them right in their service to the people.
Once again, do accept the warmest felicitations of the entire executive members of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State,” Ojelabi said.
