Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has rejoiced with Muslim faithful pp across the country on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir 2020 festival, urging them to celebrate moderately in the wake of the rise in cases of the COVID-19 pandemic. The governor equally called on Nigerians, especially Muslims to imbibe the lessons of the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim and work for the unity and progress of the nation. Sanwo-Olu made this call in his Eid-el-Kabir 2020 message released on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Gboyega Akosile, congratulating Muslims in Lagos and enjoining them to continue on the path of spirituality and peaceful co-existence. “Today, I join millions of people around the world, to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters in Lagos State and in Nigeria happy Eid-el-Kabir 2020, which comes with significant lessons for mankind. He, therefore, wished the Muslim faithful a happy and peaceful Eid al-Adha celebration, adding: “On behalf of my family and the Government of Lagos State, I wish all Muslims a happy and peaceful Eid al-Adha celebration.”
