The Osun Progressives (TOP), a group of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on Muslims to celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir festival with moderation and in accordance with the noble intentions of Allah on it.
The group made the call via a statement made available to AMILOADED by the Chairman of TOP, Rev. Lowo Adebiyi, on Monday.
The TOP Chairman stated that celebrations with caution become important in view of the current health, economy and security challenges in the country.
Rev. Adebiyi noted that Muslims should know that whatever the religion made mandatory is not compulsory if there is hindrance of any kind and thus urged them to celebrate within their capacities.
The immediate past Chairman of the APC noted that though ram sacrifice is mandatory yet it is within the capacity to buy.
He equally stated that the ravaging COVID-19 and the insecurity claiming lives makes it essential to avoid unnecessary risks in the name of celebrating Eid-el-Kabir.
The Chairman of TOP stressed that there will be a new dawn of comfort when full celebrations can be done in future and it will be just alright to live to celebrate then.
Rev. Adebiyi further called on political leaders to be truthful to their calling and fair to the people they claimed to serve.
He also called on active APC members to mobilize for the coming Congress and vote in credible people as leaders of the party for its re-energising and future sustenance.
The TOP Chairman further charged them to mobilize for the ongoing voters’ registration and ensure that the future electoral fortune of the party is assured.
