Read What Embattled Senate President Saraki Has To Say On Eid-el-Kabir

Senate president Bukola Saraki and Ondo state Governor Olusegun Mimiko joined the rows of politicians congratulating Nigerian Muslims on Eid-el-Kabir.

Embattled Senate head, who is currently under trial over corruption charges, in his goodwill message said the event symbolised the fear of Allah and man’s desire to follow the wish of his creator.

The statement issued on Wednesday, September 23, and published by The Nation, reads in part:

“With the fear of Allah, mutual respect and love, we will tolerate one another, work together and be able to harness our abundant resources as a progressive nation.

“We cannot achieve much with unnecessary frictions and disharmony. What Nigerians need now is to move forward with the present change era.

“We have herculean tasks to address. Our army of unemployed graduates and youths are hovering on the street.

“Insecurity is threatening the peace and social development of our dear nation, quality health care services and economic buoyancy are major challenges that require urgent attention.

“I am very optimistic that with our collective efforts, these challenges are surmountable and we will soon overcome.”
