Eid-El-Kabir: Epe Council Chair Urges Muslims To Pray For National Security
The Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government Council Area of Lagos State, Princess Surah Animashaun, has felicitated with the Muslim community on this year’s Eid el-Kabir celebration and called for fervent prayers for the nation’s security and other challenges.

Animashaun, in her Sallah message made available to newsmen, also called Nigerians, Lagosians, Epe indigenes to rise above personal, group, sectarian and other interests, urging citizens to use the period to pray for the success of the 2027 general elections in the country.

The Chairperson underscored the significance of the festival of sacrifice hence the need for the period to be used for sober reflections through love and sacrifice, urging for the promotion of harmony and tolerance in dealing with one another at all times.

“On this occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, I urge all Nigerians, as well as Epe residents to rise above personal, group, sectarian and other interests, and to promote harmony and tolerance in dealing with one another at all times.

“We must imbibe this lesson and make it a duty to sacrifice for others and to always remember those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Selfishness, greed and corruption have no place in our lives and in our dealings with one another.” she said.

The council’s number one citizen also urged believers to use the period to strengthen their relationship with God and fellow human beings, especially the need for the well-to-do to support the less privileged in the society to give them a sense of belonging.

She said; “Let us all continue to pray fervently to God Almighty to see our country out of these security challenges and other emerging challenges facing the nation, we should also use this unique period to pray for the success of the upcoming general elections in the country.

“Pray and support our leaders at all levels to succeed, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu needs our prayers, and our amiable Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu needs our support and prayers to enable them to succeed as well as all other leaders at all levels.”

Princess Animashaun while emphasising the need for all to be law-abiding citizens to remain committed to constituted authorities, wished all Muslims a successful Sallah celebration.
