A legislator, representing ward 15, Isaga Ilewo Orile, Hon. Moruf Erubami has rejoiced with the Muslim faithful for another opportunity to witness the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir 

Erubami in his sallah message described Eid-el-Kabir as a time to appreciate the Almighty Allah for his mercies and benevolence.

He noted that the lessons of sacrifice and total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah should continue to resonate in the lives of the faithful and guide them in their relationship with the Creator and fellow human beings.

The Councillor submitted that defining moment in the story of Eid-el-Kabir was the obedience of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael in deference to the wish of the Almighty Allah who was testing his faith.

He noted that Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience was rewarded by God who provided a ram that was offered in place of Ishmael which was the essence of Eid-el-Kabir.

The legislator urged the Muslim faithful to emulate the faithfulness, sacrifice, piety and patience which was exhibited by Prophet Ibrahim as well as the humility and submission to the will of Allah.

He enjoined them to pray for the peace, progress, prosperity and development of Nigeria under the administration of  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ogun State Governor under Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun.
