President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has called on Muslim faithful and all Nigerians to remain steadfast in working and praying for peace and unity in Nigeria.
Lawan’s statement was contained in his Eid-el-Kabir message he personally signed to felicitate with all Nigerians and the Muslim Ummah on the occasion.
The President of the Senate enjoined faithful to be grateful to Allah the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful for the privilege to celebrate Sallah, regardless of their circumstances.
He said the best way to show gratitude to Allah is to share His blessings with neighbours and show love and kindness to all, as taught us by Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
Lawan called on citizens not to lose hope, stressing that their current situation is a passing phase in the historical process of nation-building.
He assured that the government under President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to set the country on the path of greatness with all the necessary legislative support from the 9th National Assembly.
