Eid-el-Kabir: Osun NULGE President, Nathaniel Kehinde Greets Muslims

The Osun State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employee, NULGE, has felicitated with Muslim faithful in the state on the celebration of this year Eid-el-Kabir.

The NULGE President, DR Comrade, Ogungbangbe Nathaniel Kehinde and all the Executives of the Union in a statement signed by the information officer of Ife North local government, Abiona Felix, on Saturday rejoiced with Muslim umah for witnessing yet another festive season of the year.

The Union urged Muslims in osun state to emulate the the good lesson teaching by the Prophet Ibraheem who sacrificed his only son, urging them to be kind and give to those who are in need.

“On behalf of the Executive of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employee, I Comerade Ogungbangbe extend very hearty felicitation to the Muslims in osun state especially Muslim workers on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

“The celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the mercies and benevolence of Allah.

The NULGE President said Eid-el-Kabir is very significant in the life of every Muslim due to the virtues and values that it conveys. The celebration of Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of the loving provision and sacrifice of Almighty Allah which has continued to sustain humanity.

“It is difficult to imagine what would have been the lot of Ibrahim and Ismail if the Almighty Allah the most beneficent and most merciful did not provide a substitute lamb at the mountain of sacrifice, he said.

“Indeed, there would be no Eid-el-Kabir without the substitute lamb.

“What would life be without the loving sacrifice of workers? In the spirit of Eid-el-Kabir, workers have sacrificed the pursuit of personal wealth, fame and luxury in order to serve humanity.

“It is not for want of alternative choices that many workers choose to serve.

“Workers work in response to the divine call to be the productive wheels of the human population. In the course of turning the wheels of productivity, workers sacrifice a lot.

Nulge president urged all the workers in osun state to vote for Governor Gboyega Oyetola for second term so as to continue his good work.

Ogungbangbe prayed that the crescent-shaped moon brighten the faithful path toward enlightenment and may Allah bless them with peace and grace.
“One good turn deserves another. Governor Gboyega Oyetola deserves second term in office May this Sallah bring joy, health and wealth to you,” he added.

As medical Doctor President urge our Muslims brothers and sisters to continue to religiously observe all the COVID-19 handling and treatment protocols. We need you alive and well to keep making sacrifices.
