In his Sallah message, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has urged leaders at all levels to make necessary sacrifice that will enhance unity and national cohesion.
A statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media Aand Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, Tambuwal advised Muslim faithful and indeed all Nigerians to view the Sallah celebration as a call for love, care and promotion of peace in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
According to the speaker, the period of Eid-el-Kabir provides a new opportunity to show love and compassion, especially for the less privileged.
He also said as the 2015 general election approaches, politicians must subject themselves to the rules of the game, and urged them to shun acts capable of breaching the existing peace.
The speaker equally wished all Nigerians a peaceful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
