The front line PDP aspirant for Ankpa I constituency seat in Kogi State House of Assembly, Prince Yakub Yakub has called on Muslim Ummah to pray for Nigeria.
In his Sallah message to the Muslim community in Nigeria, the young leader enjoined them to continue to share love between one another in their daily lives for a better society.
He also called on the Ummah not to be carried away by only the pageantry of the Sallah celebration, but to use the occasion for sober reflection and extend gestures and hands of support to the needy in the society as well as to pray against the current security and economic situation of the country.
He emphasized the importance of peace, unity and tolerance amongst the diverse people of the country for the envisaged growth and development to take place, noting that the heterogeneity of Nigeria should be a source of strength rather than conflict.
“As you join the rest of the Muslim all over the world to celebrate this year’s Sallah, I enjoin you to replicate and demonstrate in your daily lives the lessons and virtues of sacrifice, forgiveness, piety, self denial and genuine love towards one another as you mark this year Sallah,” he said.
