THE President, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, has urged Muslims all over the country, especially lawyers, to embrace love, peace and forgiveness as they celebrate the 2023 Eid-el-Fitr.
Maikyau who made the call in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said it was essential for all to embrace peace, love and forgiveness, particularly in the midst of the myriad of challenges the country was facing.
“At a time when our nation is grappling with myriad of challenges, not the least insecurity, that have led to bloodshed in almost all parts of the country.
“It is my hope that the sacrifices and self denial shown through the month of Ramadan will usher in seasons of love, forgiveness and rejuvenate our faith in God Almighty, for the recovery/restoration of our dear country, Nigeria.
“I celebrate with all our Muslim colleagues and indeed the entire Muslim Ummah, on the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr, after a successful completion of yet another blessed month of Ramadan,” Maikyau said.
He prayed that God would continue to keep all lawyers together in peace and prosperity as members of the same profession and as Nigerians.
He also asked God to grant long life in good health and sustenance to observe many more of the sacred month of Ramadan, ending with a beautiful Eid celebration.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Eid-el-Fitr, which means festival of the breaking of the fast, is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, a month when many Muslims fast. (NAN) (www.nannewsng.ng)
