Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Makama Oyelude, CON, Tegbosun III, has urged the Muslim Ummah and Nigerians to let peace, unity, and selflessness be their watchword as the world observes the Eid-el-Kabir.

The revered monarch in his sallah message said Eid-el-Kabir remains a highly spiritual occasion that calls for dedication, commitment, and selflessness.

According to him, ” this is the time to reflect on the going on around us and preach messages of hope and unity devoid of any provocation.”

Oba Makama urged Nigerians to live together peacefully, irrespective of religious, political, and tribal affiliation.

While calling on politicians to exercise restraint and refrain from any rhetoric that may inflame passion as we approach the 2027 general elections, Oba Makama said what should be uppermost in the mind of every patriotic Nigerian is “Country first.”

The monarch, while wishing every Nigerian a peaceful celebration, maintained that people should be vigilant and not be overwhelmed by the insecurity, adding that armed forces and other paramilitary forces are working around the clock to ensure a hitch-free celebration.

” The price wise men pay for eternal liberty is to be vigilant. I urged everyone to be moderate in celebration and reach out to the less privileged, widows, and orphans, “as our brothers and sisters keepers,” Olowu added.
