President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has advised Nigerians to seek God’s intervention over the insecurity and COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
Lawan made this appeal on Thursday while felicitating with all Nigerians and in particular the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of this year’s Eid El Kabir.
“As people of faith, therefore, let us continue to seek the face of the Almighty in our various national wars, be they against insecurity or the COVID-19 pandemic, and as we strive to make Nigeria a comfortable home for all its citizens
“Eid El Kabir, Islam’s feast of sacrifice, is very significant to our faith as it reminds us of the imperative of unconditional obedience to Allah, the Most Merciful.
“Through total submission to His will, we can confidently confront our challenges as individuals and as a nation, assured that Allah will intervene decisively at the most appropriate moment,” he said.
As Nigerians join other nations to mark eid-el-kabir, the Senate President urged the citizens to be mindful of the risk of the pandemic and adhere strictly to the safety protocols prescribed by the public health authorities.
He assured that the National Assembly was collaborating with the Executive in responding to the pandemic as it affects the economy and general public system.
He also pledged that elected representatives and lawmakers would
always respect the people’s trust and serve their best interests.
He stated that the National Assembly had in the past one year, passed many bills and resolutions and conducted many public hearings to strengthen the operations of government and enhance public service delivery.
“We shall continue on the same path and are confident of making the desired impacts, with your understanding and invaluable support.
“While wishing you all a happy festival, I again urge us to celebrate responsibly, in line with the general dictates of our faith and in the spirit of the august occasion,” he added.
