Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State on Monday admonished Muslims and other citizens of the State to follow the foot steps of Prophet Ibrahim who obeyed God’s command and was willing to sacrifice his son.
Lalong disclosed this in his Eid-El Kabir Sallah message to the Muslim Ummah in the state, in a press statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Emmanuel Nanle.
It reads, “I enjoined all Muslim faithful and indeed all citizens of the Plateau to follow in the pious life of Prophet Ibrahim, who because of his obedience to sacrifice his son, was blessed beyond measure.
The Governor commended the Muslim faithful for their prayers in the last two months, beginning with the Ramadan to the spiritual injunctions of exhibiting love in the last Ten Days leading to the Eid-El Kabir celebration.
“At no better time can the true Lessons of Brotherly Love, Sacrifice, Obedience and Submission to the Will of God, be better exemplified than at this trying moment of our Nations Economic Recession”, the statement added.
The Governor wished all Muslims a memorable Sallah Celebration and admonished them to be law abiding all through the period of the festivity, while also assuring them that all have been put in place to guarantee a hitch free celebration.
