Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has extended warm congratulations to the people of the state, especially the Muslim community, on the occasion of Eid-el-Adha, which begins on Friday, Dhul-Hijjah 10, 1446 A.H.

He specifically sent hearty felicitations to the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the State Council of Chiefs, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, CFR, on the Eid celebrations.

This was contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, in Ilorin on Thursday.

The Governor said Eid-el-Adha symbolises the rewards of unwavering faith and total reliance on God, as well as the fulfillment of divine covenants—values exemplified in the lives of Prophets Ibrahim and Muhammad (peace be upon them).

“As we celebrate this sacred festival, I urge everyone to remain steadfast in their faith in God and in our shared commitment to the Nigerian project. Let us continue to promote peaceful coexistence, support sustainable development efforts, and reject anything that undermines the growth and unity of Nigeria, our fatherland,” the statement read.

“I wish everyone a blessed Eid and many more years of good health and happiness. As we celebrate, I encourage us all to continue supporting President Bola Tinubu and our administration, while staying faithful to God and to the unity and collective wellbeing of our communities,” it added.
