The Catholic Bishop of Oyo Diocese, His Lordship Emmaunel Badejo has felicitated with all Muslims faithfuls in Nigeria and all over the world on the occasion of the Eid el-Kabir celebration.

Bishop Badejo made this known in a felicitation message signed and was made available to CEOAFRICA.

His Lordship congratulated all the Muslims faithfuls for the opportunity to witness another Eid- el Kabir which is the Festival of Sacrifice, being celebrated worldwide every year

“Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to God ended up as a blessing unto him. May our obedience to God in sacrifice of love and peaceful coexistence with one another bring God’s blessings and peace into our land.

“So, shall it be if we are sincere with the Almighty Allah and his ways,” he said.

He further added that Nigerians should do away with all forms of oppression, murder and fraudulent activities as they brought no glory to God.

He said, “Muslims and Christians are Abraham’s children according to the will of Allah and must all make that investment for peace lest we perish in evil and violence.

“Let us be positive and be hopeful and it will be well again if we are ready to make the sacrifice.

“As you celebrate this great feast, may the almighty Allah accept your oblations and look with mercy on our nation and the African continent.” He concluded.
