Senator Mohammad Danjuma Goje (APC-Gombe Central) has called on Nigerians to remain united at this time of Eid-del-Kabir celebration and in the face of various challenges facing the country.
Goje, in a Sallah message signed by his Media aide, Lillian Nworie, in Abuja on Friday, rejoiced with Nigerians, particularly the Muslim faithful, on the occasion of Eid al Adha.
Goje, who is the Chairman of the North East Caucus in the National Assembly, enjoined Muslims in the message to seize the blessings of the season and pray fervently for the progress of Nigerians and Nigeria.
He implored Nigerians to embrace one another and shun any form of discrimination amongst themselves.
He said: “At this feast of sacrifice, I call on Nigerians to be their brother’s keeper at all times in providing the unity that can move the country forward and frustrate the nefarious activities of criminals among us.”
Goje urged Nigerians to celebrate the Sallah in conformity with COVID-19 safety protocols, just as he lauded their courage in the fight against the pandemic.
He commended them for their support and cooperation with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government in his steps to curtail the spread of the deadly virus.
He also prayed for those who are sick from the pandemic to recover soon and those who lost their loved ones be comforted by the Almighty Allah.
He added: “As Nigerians join the rest of the world to celebrate the 2020 Eid-el-Kabir faithfully, my heart rejoices with you. I wish you to have more fulfilling years in store for you, and may Allah provide for all of your needs forever.
“On this Eid-el-Kabir, may the peace of Allah abide with you, may His glory overwhelm, his favour, grace and mercy never depart from our life, now and forever.”
