Olowu of Kuta, Oba Hammed Makama Oyelude, Tegbosun iii, has urged muslim Ummah and Nigerians to let peace, unity and selflessness be their watchword as the world observe the Eid-el-Kabir
The monarch, in his sallah message, said Eid-el-Kabir remains a highly spiritual occasion that calls for dedication, commitment, and selflessness.
He said: “This is the time to reflect on the going on around us and preach messages of hope and unity devoid of any provocation.”
Oba Makama urged Nigerians to live together peacefully, irrespective of religious, political, and tribal affliation.
While calling on politicians to exercise restraint and refrain from any rhetoric that may inflame passion as we approach 2027 general elections, the monarch said what should be uppermost in the mind of every patriotic Nigerian is ‘Country first.’
“The price wise men pay for eternal liberty is to be vigilant. I urge everyone to be moderate in celebration and reach out to the less privileged, widows and orphans “as our brothers and sisters keepers,” Olowu added.
