*Eid-el-Kabir: Mallam Gani Audu fecilitates with Muslim Ummah, reminds them to pray for peace before, during and after the upcoming gubernatorial election.*



Mallam Gani Audu, deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the September 19 governorship election in Edo State, sends his greetings to the Muslim Ummah in Edo state on the celebration of Eid ul-Adha, stressing that "this is a celebration of the willingness sacrifice".

In a statement released by Mohammed Mamudu, Head of Media & Communication for Team MGA, Mallam Gani Audu said; "The significance of Eid al-Adha is to remind us of the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Bbuh) to sacrifice his young son, Ismail (Pbuh) as he saw it happen in his dream. But Allah sent an angel to command him to sacrifice an animal, instead of his son. In commemorating Eid al-Adha, we honor and remember the example of Ibrahim (PBUH)."

He stated further that "Sacrifices are essential for socio-economic and political development and most especially for the development of tolerance for opposing views required to foster a sense of unity in any modern society"

Mallam Gani Audu emphasized that COVID19 is still ravaging the country therefore "our celebrations should be low key and sombre, because we must all adhere to COVID19 health and safety protocols, of social distancing, wearing a mask and regular washing of one's hands, while we celebrate"

Finally Mallam Audu enjoined the Ummah "to pray for peaceful elections in September" and stressed that they should "troop out en masse to participate in the upcoming gubernatorial elections."
