The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara, State Council of Chiefs, Mai-Martaba Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has urged Nigerians to be sensitive to the federal advice indicating that,the worse type of COVID-19 pandemic is yet to be ruled out in the nation.
He also urged the people to always adopt preventive measures and protocols, in order to adhere to the warnings and efforts of tackling the deadly virus globally.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari gave the advice this on Thursday while delivering his sallah message to Muslim faithful, shortly after he observed the two rakat prayers marking the end of the 2021 Ramadan fasting at the Ilorin Central Eid praying ground.
Our Correspondent reports that the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Dr. Muhammad Bashir Soliu, led the prayers.
The emir said:“We give thanks to Almighty Allah (SWT)once again for granting us the grace to observe the Ramadan fasting successfully. Religious misunderstandings in the state should be addressed by the two main religious leaders.
“The society has gone far enough to prevent leashing violent reactions on any matter that ought to have been settled amicably. All restraints exhibited while it lasted should be continued and the end of fasting should not be the end of personal discipline.
“To those performing this year’s holy pilgrimage (Umrah) among us, we wish them Allah’s travelling mercies and happy return to their respective homes.
“For the sick in the hospital and at home, we pray Allah to heal them and for those that died in the current year, may Allah grant them Al-janatul fordaos and give their families the courage and fortitude to bear the loss,” he prayed.
