Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose on Friday joined Muslim faithfuls to offer prayers during Eid Kabir prayer at Muslim Community Prayer Ground, Odo-Ado, Ado-Ekiti.

Fayose, in a sallah message, had charged Muslims and Nigerians in general to be ready to make the sacrifices necessary for the progress of the country, which is currently passing through challenging period. The governor also urged the people to imbibe the spirit of love, obedience, sacrifice and sharing that the festival teaches. “We must appreciate God for sparing our lives and giving us good health to be part of the celebration of this year’s festival. As we celebrate, we must not forget the lessons we need to learn from the event.

“Love for God, obedience to His commands and the willingness to make sacrifice without looking back must be paramount to us. Our nation is going through a lot of challenges and each one of us must play our role to overcome these challenges.’’
