Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has felicitated with the Muslim faithful, as they commemorate this year’s Eid El- Kabir, a significant spiritual event in the Muslim Calendar.
The Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS) Tersoo Kula, charged the Muslim faithful to always wear tolerance like a cloth, and spread love, sacrifice and unity, as those are the binding principles of their faith and the only means of getting to their destination, which is God.
The governor stressed that there will be more growth and development in the country if the Muslims and Christians see themselves as one, and choose to live together in peace and unity as Nigerians.
He urged the Muslim faithful in the State and country to continue to pray and support the current administration both in the state and federal level, especially as the APC led government is striving hard to fulfil its electoral mandate to the people, expressing optimism that the state and country will surely become better.
The Governor wishes the Muslim faithful a happy Eid El- Kabir celebration.
