_...Urges Muslims to pray against Global Pandemic._
An erstwhile member of the House of Representatives for Ilorin East and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdulwahab Oladimeji Issa has felicitated with Muslim faithfuls in Ilorin Emirate, Kwara State and beyond over this year's Eid-il-Fitr celebration.
This is contained in a statement signed by his Media Team and made available to newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, where the Ex Lawmaker enjoined Nigerians across tribal, ethnic, political and religious lines to be patriotic, dedicated and committed to nation building, especially in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
"It is no doubt that Ramadan is a holy month embedded with manifold blessings, in which every Muslim is expected to renew his or her spiritual status with the Almighty Allah. So, let us be committed to using all the knowledge gained therein as watchword for our dealings in all ramifications, to earn us "Firdaous paradise" he added.
Continuing, the Former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Character, stressed that "while we are basking in the aura of festive merriments, we should remember to passionately pray to the Almighty Allah to free us from the ravage of Covid-19 pandemic, to send the global hardship occasioned by the scourge to the journey of no return."
He therefore noted that in order to avert further spread of dreadful virus during the Eid-l-fitr celebration, it is imperative that everyone remains law-abiding by maintaining strict compliance with social distancing rule; maintain hand, respiratory and environmental hygienes, as well as report suspected cases in and around the neighborhood to relevant authorities.
