Hon. (Odofin) Samuel Olusola Sonuga on Monday called on Muslims in Remo Constituents to embrace the values of sacrifice, love and continue to foster unity as they join their counterparts worldwide to celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.

In his Sallah message signed by his media aid, Icon Bolanle Balogun Esq, Olusola Sonuga said the period of the celebration was a clarion call for Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of the season such as selfless service to God and humanity, sacrifice and sincere commitment to righteous conducts in their private and public life.

He explained that the significance of the season should be beyond feasting, adding that as Muslims prepare to offer animal sacrifice in the prescribed days of the festival, the real essence should be to encourage piety, self-discipline and sacrifice.

Hon. Sonuga therefore called on all remonians to exhibit these values for the good of the Remo Federal Constituency and shun any act capable of heating up the polity or causing distrust among various ethnic groups in Remo constituents.

“As we celebrate this auspicious occasion, let us renew our faith in our constituents and implore the Almighty God to restore to us those values that place high premium on human life, love of neighbour and sharing even as we ventilate our faith in the unity of our dear constituents”, Sonuga said.

“This period requires more patience, fortitude, tolerance, endurance, patriotism and a greater willingness to make personal sacrifices for the good of all,” he said.

The leading aspirant for the House of Representatives in Remo Federal Constituency also thanked Remonians for supporting his ambition, assuring that he would continue to do its best to serve the people and promote fairness and mutual tolerance among the populace, irrespective of their ethnic religion or political affiliation.

While wishing all Remonians, especially adherents of the Islamic faith a happy Eid-el-Kabir celebration, Hon. Sonuga enjoined Remonians in other parts of the country to continue to be their brothers’ keeper.
