The Lawmaker representing Iwajowa State Constituency at Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Anthony Ogunsola Oladejo has enjoined adherents of Islam to rededicate to cause of mankind.
Hon. Anthony Ogunsola who was recently inaugurated as a member of 10th Oyo Assembly made this admonition in a release which he personally signed on occasion of Eid el-Kabir and made it available to naijatodaynew.com
Ayetoro-Ile born Lawmaker felicitated adherents of Islam in Iwajowa Local Government, Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole, and however asked them to show rededication to cause of mankind.
The Lawmaker maintained that the celebration, which is in place to honour the readiness of Prophet Ibrahim on the need to sacrifice his son(Ismael) as an act of obedience to God’s command, is not only for celebration but also to show kindness and love to others.
He asked them to reflect deeply on purpose Prophet Ibrahim desired and decided to make sacrifice of his son for God.
Adding that, the moral and spiritual lessons which the celebration of Eid el-Kabir teaches should be inculcated in our ways of life.
He called on them to celebrate in line with Islamic injunctions, so that the supplications and other religious engagements make at this period would be granted by God.
In another vein, the parliamentarian charged Muslims to use the period of celebration to pray for Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole.
The Lawmaker maintained that the prayers and other requests that are made during this period of festivity would no doubt be needed for Nigeria’s attainment of greater heights.
He wished all Muslims well and prayed that the the current celebration would be accompanied by joy, while the subsequent ones will meet all in peace but not in pieces.
