The chairman, Southern Senators’ Forum, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, has called on Muslims to exhibit more commitments to Nigeria’s frightening insecurity in their prayer supplications at Eid-el-Kabir.
The senator who represents Ekiti Central Senatorial District, said the recent spate of bombing of some national assets and the virulent ways with which the suspected terrorists were dislodging and killing Nigerian citizens called for fervent prayers.
He saluted Muslim Ummah for their numerous contributions to national unity and development, thereby sustaining the national fabric, urging them to increase the tempo for the country to reach the destination it deserves.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) leader said this in a statement released, on Thursday, congratulating the Muslims on this year’s Sallah.
Bamidele said this is not time for Nigerians to sulk in unwarranted blame-game over recurrent cases of insecurity across the six geopolitical zones, saying the citizens must rise to the reality that the situation has become more complex and convoluted to the extent that it can only be resolved through strong intellectual and spiritual prowess.
“Let me congratulate our Muslim brothers on this year’s occasion of Eid-el-Kabir and call their attentions to the fact that this celebration must be more of seeking God’s face for quick intervention in the affairs of our nation, rather than the fanfare that used to accompany it.
