From Tony Osauzo, Benin
The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare ll, CFR, felicitated with Muslim faithful across the world on the celebration of this year’s Eid el-Kabir also known as the Feast of Sacrifice in Islam.
The Oba in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Iguobaro Osaigbovo, enjoined the Muslim faithful to pray for forgiveness of sins of mankind and bring peace upon our dear country, Nigeria and reflect on the tenets of the Islamic religion as encapsulated in the Holy Qur’an.
Besides, he urged Muslims to use their personal devotion and worship to pray to God to grant the nation’s leaders good health, wisdom and the political will to salvage the nation through virtues of diligence that inspire hard work from economic morass to greater heights.
The Benin monarch also prayed to “Almighty God and our ancestors for the growth and development of our dear country.”
