CAN
On behalf of the entire Christian community in Nigeria, i wish to congratulate the Sultan of Sokoto, His Emminence, Dr Sa’ad Abubakar, our Muslim brothers on the successful completion of the Ramadan fasting and the ocassion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
I use this ocassion to remind our brothers of the significance of this ocassion espcially about the virtues of love, peace, good neighbourliness as emphasised by the Holy prophet.
In times like this, all Nigerians irrespective of their affiliations must strive to promote good neighbourliness and the ability to rise above ethnic, religious and political sentiments to work for the collective good of the nation.
I like to use this unique opportunities to call on all religious leaders especially in this period of celebrations, to preach peace and unity among Nigerians because both Islam and Christianity preach peace. As opinion leaders let us use our positions to influence positive disposition towards ending chaos in our country.
The holy prophet Mohammed lived and preached peace at all times, therefore, the acts perpetrated by some disgruntled Nigerians in the name of Islam is most condemnable and should be discouraged. No nation can achieve greatness in an atmosphere of crisis and unrest.
CAN joins millions of our Muslim brothers to pray for the peace and unity of the nation and to commit our troops in the battle field in the hands of God so as to win the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign.
It is my ernest belief that our nation will continue to grow from strength to strength and all faithful will use the instrumentality of religion to promote peaceful coexistence and development for our nation.
I like to reiterate that our collective will as a people will always prevail if we are united in prayers, in our contributions to national development and in our resolve to promote peace in our communties.
Once again i urge our people to imbibe the teachings of the holy books, to demonstrate true love in all their endeavours and wish our brothers a happy Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
