Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, representing Niger-East Senatorial District, has urged Muslims and the people from the zone to seek the face of Almighty Allah to end the lingering security challenges in the zone.
Musa, in his Eid-El-Kabir message, said that increasing security threats in many communities across Niger-East senatorial zone with attending loss of lives and properties, including farmlands have made it imperative for people to pray to Allah for divine intervention.
The year 2020 eid-el-kabir, Musa said, should not be all about celebrations but more of supplications and fervent prayers to Allah like Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had interceded for believers in his days on earth.
“As Muslims, we must make it an obligation to intercede for peace, unity, security and indeed prosperity of East Senatorial District, Niger State and Nigeria as a whole. Let us seek the face of Allah for peace, unity and progress of our land”.
Musa, who said he had explored all humanly possible means to bring peace and safety of lives and properties, including but not limited to political options; approaching both President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Abubarkar Sani Bello all to no avail said the only option left to his people to seek for divine intervention for their safety.
The prevalent security challenges seemed to have defied all known solutions, Musa told his constituents.
“The year’s Eid-El-Kabir shouldn’t just be a time to eat, drink and make merry but a time to be sober and intercede for others just as Prophet Muhammad (SWA) did during his sojourning here on earth”.
While also emphasizing the need for all Muslims to imbibe the sacrificial lifestyle and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (Pbuh), who was willing to sacrifice his only son as commanded by Allah for their prayers to be acceptable,
Musa said all hands must be on deck in ensuring security of Niger East and Niger State in general by supporting security agencies to discharge their responsibilities effectively.
Musa (Sani 3-1-3) however solicited for support of Nigerlites at all the three tiers of government through prayers for Allah to grant them wisdom to lead well.
