Eid-el-Kabir: Senator Natasha distributes rams, fetes Muslim faithful

As part of the preparation for Eid-el-Kabir, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has distributed rams to Central mosques across Kogi Central.

The main central mosques in each of the five local government areas of the senatorial district are identified as the beneficiaries of the largesse.

The lawmaker also felicitated with the Muslim faithful and urged them to use the occasion to promote love, tolerance and pray for sustained peace in the country.

"On this auspicious occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, I extend warm greetings to all Muslims around the world.

"Eid-el-Kabir, a sacred holiday commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, is a powerful reminder of the values of faith, obedience, and selflessness.

"As we celebrate this joyous day, we honour the unwavering dedication of Prophet Ibrahim and the unshakeable trust of his son, Prophet Ismail (Ishmael).

"On this blessed day, I join all Muslim faithful to rejoice in the spirit of unity, compassion, and gratitude. Let's imbibe the principles of peace, love, and service to humanity.

"I wish everyone a joyous Eid-el-Kabir, filled with happiness, peace, and harmony. May this special day bring us closer to our faith, loved ones, and nation at large," she said.

Let Muslims reciprocate the same.

A good comment . But we do that in my family though. Even when baba jakande was alive, he was always donating to the Christian fold during Christian festivities, politics apart. Sincerely speaking, I wouldn't know why such kind gestures were not common among other Muslims to their Christian counterparts. This isn't an offence just an observation.

To a great extent I know the tenets and as a christian. If I were to follow the family tradition, I'd have been a sheik today and I don't think there's anywhere in the holy book where giving to Christians is forbidden. I stand to be corrected.

Seen and noted.

Make Christmas reach first....I won't say much

😆 lolz 🤣 I can count 1, 2, 3 . . . 15 medium sized rams for 500,000 people in her constituency

Omo bone . . . This year's sallah really show some people pepper sha and we still have 7 more to go (remembering each consecutive one will definitely be worse than the last)

Muslim- Muslim ticket crooners . . . Na una do unaselves this one 🤡

TheSuperX:

An observation

The average Muslim does not send greetings during other religions ' festivities. I hope I am wrong though

May almighty Allah bless her for Kogi people.

She tried but personally I think empowering people with what can bring constant income for them is better than sharing palliatives .

Only politics can influence such conversion maybe because kogi is still geographically under north.

That money can build a whole classroom in kogi state. Endpoint of those ram are toilets. Nigeria with wastage mentality.
Israel and mecca pilgrimage subsidy too is a total wastage by our government. Imagine doling out 90b for the current Hajj.

Not a big deal

Hope to see them distributing turkeys, chickens, etc to Christians during Christmas
