| The minister of state for Power, Goddy Jedy Agba has called on Muslim brothers to continue to uphold the teachings of prophet Muhammed on tolerance, peace and love among one another.
He spoke on the occasion of the Sallah celebration to mark the Festival of Sacrifice, saying that, love, peace and tolerance are religious factors that cannot be undermined.
In a statement, issued by the Special Assistant on media, Mr Ofem Uket on Tuesday, the Minister stated that Nigeria is blessed with human and natural resources that makes a country great.
According to him, “Love, peace and tolerance remains the fundamental objectives of service to God and humanity. Without these attributes man cannot please God.
Agba lamented that Nigeria is populated with very high number of dedicated Muslims and Christians who bear witness to the things of God, but wonders why citizens have allowed themselves to be used against each other.
He however called on Muslims and Christians to use this festival of sacrifice to reflect on the teachings of the prophet to sustain values. | |
