Ekiti Obas Greet Muslims, Seek Prayers for a Stronger and Prosperous Nigeria.

The Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers has felicitated Muslims on the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging them to direct their prayers and sacrifices towards a stronger and prosperous Nigeria. 

This message was contained in a statement congratulating Muslims Ummah and signed by the Chairman of the Council, Oba Gabriel Ayodele Adejuwon, CFR and made available to journalists, in Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday.

Oba Adejuwon Ayodele CFR who doubles as the Onisan of the Isan kingdom, showered encomiums on Muslims for playing stabilizing roles in the country through their prayers and philanthropic gestures.

The monarch urged them to celebrate Sallah with a specific focus and mindset that Nigeria needs prayers to surmount the current excruciating economic spates pummeling the country and creating an atmosphere of despondency among the citizens.

Oba Adejuwon urged Muslim Ummah to continually demonstrate the ethos of loyalty, sacrifice, love, togetherness, and holiness, as reflected in the life of Prophet Ibraheem, who was considered the symbol of Eid-el-Kabir celebration. 

"On behalf of the Council, I congratulate the Muslims in Ekiti and Nigeria for this year's Sallah. I charge them to celebrate with decency, moderation, and as well live for others, as exhibited by Prophet Ibraheem.

"It is clear to everyone that our country is currently challenged economically. This spiritual time offered veritable opportunities for Nigerians, especially  Muslim adherents to pray for the land for spiritual intervention and economic prosperity." 

"Sallah is not celebrated for nothing, it represents a very pivotal space in the life of any Muslim. The teachings and lessons of holiness, contentment, loyalty, piety, and mutual respect, and trust must be allowed to take root in Nigeria.

"We believe that there is no problem that cannot be solved through a collective will. Nigerians must learn how to coalesce their prayers to bring Nigeria out of her current economic challenges, and all of us have critical roles to play in actualizing this onerous task".
