EID EL-KABIR: Fadahunsi congratulates Muslims, charges to seek knowledge

The senator representing Osun East Senatorial District at the national assembly, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi has congratulated Muslims on this year’s celebration of Eid-el-kabir.

In a statement signed by his media Adviser, Sam Segun-Progress on Friday, the Osun Senator congratulated entire Muslim adherents on this celebration and prayed that the blessings attached shall not be denied them by the mercies of Allah.

He however challenged Nigerians in general to emulate the fundamental principle that gave birth to this celebration which he believes is premised on the knowledge of Allah which his prophet Ibrahim had that made it easy for him to obey the instructions of Allah to the letter.

In his words “knowledge is a powerful tool that can deliver the oppressed from the oppressor and thereby giving hope to the hopeless”.

It’s only knowledge that can save Nigeria today and can move the nation forward from where we are at the moment to where we ought to be.

In addition to knowledge he also enjoined the Muslim community and by extension all Nigerians to use this period of celebration not just to celebrate but to engage God in prayers for the emancipation of the country.

He went further to challenge Nigerians to stand up and seek after knowledge and it’s application to ensure that we do what is right for our dear nation to attain it’s place of pride in the comity of nation’s across the globe saying that our country has all it takes to be a world power if only as a people we can be emboldened by knowledge.
