As we commemorate Eid ul-Adha today, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the Muslim Ummah and the entire people of Yobe South and beyond.
Eid ul-Adha holds a significant place in our faith as Muslims, reminding us of the submission and devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to the command of Allah, which teaches us that no sacrifice is greater than the will of Allah, our creator and savior.
While celebrating this occasion, we should therefore not look at it only as a day for merry-making, but rather reflect on the good virtues associated with it and strive to emulate them in our lives.
I implore each and every one of us to also use this day to pray fervently for the unity, peace, and progress of our beloved nation, Nigeria.
As someone to whom you have entrusted your mandate at the Senate for the second time, I assure my good people of Yobe South of my total commitment and continued support in providing programs and projects for the development of our beloved Zone. In fulfilling this objective, I am fully aware of the challenges and constraints, but I am resolute in my determination to address them and bring about an enduring socio-economic structure for the betterment of the lives of our people.
In my second tenure of representation, while continuing with all projects and programs in diverse areas, I will give special attention to youth and women empowerment, recognizing them as the most vulnerable groups in our societies that need to be supported as the pillars for the economic emancipation of any community.
We must also embrace the spirit of Eid ul-Adha at all times by extending kindness, generosity, and compassion to those in need. By doing so, we can contribute to the betterment of our communities and the nation at large.
Once again, I extend my warmest greetings to you all on this special day. May its lessons continue to bring joy, peace, unity, and strengthen our bonds of brotherhood despite our diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and faiths, as without peace and unity, we will never succeed as a people.
Finally, I pray to the Almighty Allah to continue guiding and protecting us in all our noble affairs.
