Sallah: Hon. Joseph Ikpea Congratulates Muslim faithfuls
A frontline Edo State Governorship aspirant and a chieftain of the All-Progressives Congress, Hon. Dr. Joseph Ikpea, has congratulated Muslims on this year’s Eid-El-Kabir, saying, Nigerians will be richly rewarded for their patience and sacrifices.
In a Sallah message to Muslim brothers and sisters in Edo State, Nigeria and across the globe, the governorship aspirant thanked the Almighty God for the opportunity to be part of the unique celebration.
The feast of sacrifice, Ikpea said, is a special celebration that reminds mankind that patience, trust, faith, obedience and sacrifice draws abundant blessings from God.
“Patience and sacrifice for a good or just cause is also fundamental to progress, building of peaceful societies and human survival.
“We have been going through a debilitating crisis and huge challenges that test the will of the human person. But we are still trudging along, keeping hope alive and utilizing available opportunities to better our lives. We are indeed a resilient and strong people. Governments at different levels have been making efforts to address our economic and security challenges but a lot still needs to be done,” he noted.
Saluting Nigerians for their patience and sacrifices in emulating the uncommon sacrifice of Ibrahim in obedience to God.
Hon Joseph Ikpea said just as Ibrahim was richly rewarded, our patience and sacrifices in this trying time will not be ignored by Almighty God, who is ever merciful.
“He will remove these afflictions and restore peace and prosperity to our country. As you are aware, I have put myself forward for the office of the Governor of Edo State. I want to serve our people and take the state to higher heights. I seek the support of all men and women of goodwill. Let us work together to effectively and efficiently deliver services to our people and safeguard their lives and livelihoods. It is a duty we owe our state and our people,” he said.
