I felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters as we mark the Eid-el-Kabir festivities.

On the occasion of this celebration, I urge everyone to reflect on the peculiar state of our nation and espouse virtues that would promote peace, unity, good neighbourliness and sacrifice.

We should all strive to have a deeper relationship with God as we reflect on the lessons of the season.

Our nation is in dire straits. This period demands that we work together and do away with all ethno-religious strife for our collective progress.

We are working closely with security authorities to ensure our Muslim faithful have a peaceful celebration.

Godwin Obaseki,

Governor, Edo State
