2020 Eid-El-Kabir Celebration: Diri Urges Muslim Faithful To Continue To Live In Peace And Love

Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, felicitates with Muslim faithful in the state and across Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.

As our Muslim brothers, sisters and friends mark this special season, I join them to celebrate even as I urge them to reflect on the lessons of sacrifice, charity and love that the feast of Eid-el-Kabir epitomises.

The challenges facing our country, especially at this period of the global coronavirus pandemic, require introspection by the Muslim Ummah on the teachings of their Prophet.

So, I urge our Muslim faithful to continue to live in peace and love while praying for the prosperity of Bayelsa and our country.

My administration is committed to promoting peaceful co-existence between and among adherents of the different faiths in order to build a prosperous and peaceful state for everyone to realise their dreams.

Happy Sallah celebrations.
