As Muslims across Nigeria and the world mark the sacred occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, Honourable Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun, Member representing Saki West, Saki East, and Atisbo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has extended heartfelt felicitations to the Muslim Ummah within his constituency, across Oyo North, and the nation at large.
In a goodwill message conveyed through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sheu Shittu Megida, Hon. Abisodun emphasized the spiritual and moral significance of Eid-el-Kabir, one of Islam’s most revered festivals. He congratulated the Muslim faithful on witnessing yet another Eid and prayed for the acceptance of their prayers, supplications, and sacrifices offered during the holy month of Dhul-Hijjah.
“Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the ultimate demonstration of submission to the will of Almighty Allah by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the obedience of his son Ismail (AS),” the lawmaker stated. “These timeless values, faith, sacrifice, obedience, and perseverance, are not only central to our religious obligations but also foundational for the progress and unity of our society.”
He further enjoined all Muslims, particularly in Oke Ogun and the larger Oyo North Senatorial District, to imbibe and reflect these values in their personal and communal lives. “It is only through sincere faith, tolerance, and collective responsibility that we can overcome our national challenges and steer our country toward lasting peace and prosperity,” Hon. Abisodun remarked.
In his message, the lawmaker also used the opportunity to call for sustained prayers for Nigeria, particularly for peace, security, and economic stability across all regions. He urged the people of his constituency to remain hopeful and united in the pursuit of good governance and inclusive development.
“I remain fully committed to the cause of service and to the advancement of my people in Saki West, Saki East, and Atisbo. As your representative, I will continue to advocate for infrastructural development, youth empowerment, education, and agricultural sustainability, all of which are key to transforming our communities,” he reaffirmed.
Concluding his message, Hon. Abisodun wished all Muslim faithful a joyous and spiritually fulfilling Eid celebration. “May this season of sacrifice deepen our faith, enrich our families with love and mutual respect, and strengthen our bonds as a people. I wish the good people of Oyo North a blessed and peaceful Eid-el-Kabir and many more returns of this holy festival in good health and prosperity.”
Eid-el-Kabir, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command, and it is marked by prayers, the slaughtering of sacrificial animals, acts of charity, and communal harmony.
