As Muslim celebrates this year’s Sallah, Lagos State Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has urged Nigerians to embrace peace and unity for the growth and development of the Nation.

Obasa admonished Nigerians to see peace as one of the major ingredients for democracy to thrive in our nascent democratic dispensation.

He made this known in his Eid-el-Kabir message to Nigerians including residents of Lagos and politicians in the state.

The Speaker noted that the yearnings of many well-meaning Nigerians were justified,  adding that going about such demands and requests through violent means would not help the citizens and the country.

“We complain about a dwindling economy today, but the truth is that restiveness, banditry, terrorism, kidnappings and general insecurity are some of the major causes.

“It is not difficult to know that no nation can thrive or succeed when it is violence-ridden.

“Just as citizens must begin to live in peace and neighbourliness, we, as leaders, must also not nap, we must not sleep on ideas to make the country great.

“We must show perfect examples of love for country and sacrifice to humanity as Islam teaches.

“In Lagos, we have remained a good example of a working democracy thanks to our hardworking leaders and faithful residents.

“Like I said earlier ahead of the local government council elections, it is very important that all parties shun violence. We must eschew violence; it is not going to do any of us any good and it is not going to do any party any good also.

“We must allow people of the state to decide and choose leaders that will serve their interests for the next four years. So, we must all come together to condemn anything that has to do with violence.

“We must do that, it is important because anything can become the outcome of violent actions. We don’t want that to happen,” the speaker said as he congratulated Muslims in the country for witnessing another holy celebration”, he concluded.
