The Member representing Ila Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Clement Ademola Akanni (Olohunwa), sends his heartfelt greetings to the Muslim Ummah on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Adha.

In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, Hon Clement Akanni emphasizes the deep significance of this momentous celebration for Muslims worldwide, which serves as a time of reflection, sacrifice, and unity.

“Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, holds great significance in the Islamic faith. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering faith and devotion to Allah, as demonstrated through his willingness to sacrifice his beloved son. This noble act teaches us valuable lessons of sacrifice, compassion, and submission to the divine will.

“As we gather with our families and loved ones to celebrate this joyous occasion, let us reflect on the teachings of the Qur’an. Allah says in Surah Al-Hajj, verse 37: ‘It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.’ This verse reminds us that our acts of worship, devotion, and righteousness are what truly matter in the sight of our Creator.

Let us embrace the spirit of unity, love, and gratitude as we join together in prayer and celebration.

“On this joyous occasion, I commend the steadfastness and prayers of the Muslim Ummah towards nation building, including your unwavering faith, resilience, and commitment to peace and harmony. I pledge to continue working diligently in the House of Representatives to address the needs and aspirations of the people of Ila Federal Constituency, regardless of their religious beliefs.

“I wish you all a blessed Eid filled with happiness, good health, and prosperity. May this joyous occasion strengthen the bond of brotherhood and sisterhood among us and inspire us to be compassionate and caring individuals. Eid Mubarak!”
