On behalf of my family, the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the entire Nigerian Christian community, I wish to felicitate with the leadership of the muslim community in Nigeria and all faithful on the ocassion of the 2014 Eid-el kabir celebrations.
Ocassions like this calls for sober reflection and submission to the will of the almighty in the life of a nation its citizens.
This auspicious ocassion should remind faithful and indeed all Nigerians of the need to get closer to God in all aspects of our nation’s life.
No doubt our nation is going through trying times – the harsh economic condition, the menace of boko haram, the recent Ebola pandemic and others, are manifestations of the harsh realities facing Nigerians.
I urge all faithful to use the ocassion of the sallah celebrations to pray for our country and its leadership for no amount of prayer can be said to be too much for our nation.
I therefore called on Nigerians to remain peaceful, pursue peace, love and understanding in the quest for a new Nigeria .
Once again, I congratulate our Muslim brothers and wish them a happy eid-el KABIR celebrations and may God bless our country Nigeria.
Signed,
pastor Ayo Oristejafor
President Christian Association of Nigeria CAN
