According to the statement, "I felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters on the celebration of this year's Eid-El-Kabir.

"As we celebrate, let us be mindful of the reason for the celebration, which is the essence of obedience as exemplified in the travails and trials of Prophet Ibrahim, who overcame and triumphed by reason of his obedience to the command of Allah."

While urging the Muslim Ummah who are performing this year's Hajj which is one of the five pillars of Islam, (Dr) Dorry Okojie who is also the president of (Dr) Dorry Okojie Foundation, appealed to them to pray for the state and nation just as he  reminded all and sundry of the need to assist those in need.


"Let me also use this opportunity to congratulate our Muslim brethren who are in Saudi Arabia performing this year's Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. I urge them to pray for Edo State and Nigeria, that Allah in His infinite mercy will grant us the grace to be our brothers keeper, so that together we can tackle the challenges confronting us as a people.


"As we pray for favour to celebrate many more in good health, sound mind and absolute peace, may Allah grant us the humility to remember those who need our help", the message added.
