YAYI Movement Owu Community is a political group in Abeokuta North local government area of Ogun State.
In a press statement released in Abeokuta on Sunday, the coordinator of the group Ismail Akindele urged the Muslim Ummah to use the opportunity of this year’s celebration to pray for the unity, peace and development of Nigeria.
His words “We rejoice with the Muslim Ummah as they celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir festival. We call on them to use the occasion to continue to live up to the tenets of their faith through acts of charity, peaceful co-existence with their neighbours and obedience to the injunctions of the Holy Quran."
The coordinator urged Muslims to be mindful of the lessons of dedication and obedience to higher authorities as demonstrated by Prophet Ibraheem’s willingness to sacrifice his son in deference to the will of God, a supreme act of faith which Eid-El-Kabir glorifies.
The group wished all Muslims a very happy Eid-El-Kabir celebration.
Eid-El-Kabir, also known as Eid-al-Adha or Feast of the Sacrifice, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide.
The celebrations start after the Hajj, when the pilgrims to Mecca in Saudi Arabia descend from Mount Arafat.
