The lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and Chairperson, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, has urged Nigerians to emulate Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him), by imbibing the spirit of love, peace, kindness, and sacrifice during the Eid-el- Kabir celebration and afterwards.
Akande-Sadipe in a Sallah message signed by her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Olamilekan Olusada, also called on Muslim faithful to use the occasion to pray for peace, unity, prosperity, and economy recovery of the country.
She noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the pace of development in the country, but reminded them that Allah puts us in hard times so that we can appreciate his blessings afterward.
“Let’s put our trust on Him and pray for courage and solutions.
“Only Allah knows what is best for us. So, don’t lose hope in our troubled times, instead, let us remind ourselves that Allah always has the best plan for all of us,” she said.
Quoting the Holy Quran, the lawmaker said: “Allah’s promise in the Qur’an {Indeed with the difficulty there is an ease. Indeed with the difficulty there is an ease.} (Al-Inshirah 5-6)
“Difficult times are decisive and differentiating. They show those who are truthful and those who are not. May the year ahead be fruitful for you and your home or family.”
