…. Congratulates Gov. Bello, Pharm. Asuku
The Executive Secretary, Kogi State office for Disability Affairs, Barr. Zacchaeus Dare Michael has called on Nigerians, particularly the disability community to push for unity as Muslims mark the celebration of this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.
Barr. Dare in a statement, congratulated Muslims in Kogi State who are currently in Saudi Arabia to participate in the rites of the Hajj to cease the opportunity to pray for the sustained peace of the State and for the Gov. Yahaya Bello’s administration.
The Executive Secretary also urged the Muslims to pray for the Unity of the country and that of Kogi State in particular, urged them to pray for the success of administration of Gov Yahaya Bello and the development of the State.
‘‘Indeed, your fervent and sincere prayers, which cut across religion, political and ethnic divide, cannot be overemphasized in the task of building a great Nigeria and a better Kogi State.
‘‘As we celebrate, I sincerely believe that our nation can make rapid progress on all fronts if we re-enact the exemplary virtues, typified by the holy Prophet through his sacrifice, patience, steadfastness, generosity and obedience to Allah’s command and constituted authority.
‘‘We must learn to see ourselves as brothers and sisters from the same heritage, who must come to terms with the African proverb that ‘‘a family tie is like a tree, it can bend but it cannot break.’’
Permit me to once again use this auspicious occasion to congratulate our Muslim brothers for witnessing yet another eid el Kabir celebration in good health. It is my fervent prayers and desires that our tomorrow through our working collectively would be better.
Let me on this occasion reiterate my love to Gov. Bello for his unquenchable desire to transform Kogi State. To Pharm. Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku, the pragmatic Chief of Staff to Government and all other appointees who are Muslim faithful. I assure that I’ll always strive to propagate peace and unity in my little way, particularly amongst the Disability Community.
Once again, congratulations and Happy 2022 Eid El Kabir celebration especially to the disability community.
