The Chairman Forum 68 and immediate past Algon Chairman in Oyo State,Prince Ayodeji Abass-Aleshinloye (MDII) has called on Muslims to embrace the virtues of sacrifice, love, faith and unity as they celebrate  the Eid-el-Kabir.

“We are all members of one nation and in spite of our diversity;we are bound by a common humanity,” Aleshinloye said.

“As we celebrate this auspicious occasion, let us renew our faith in our nation, implore the Almighty Allah to restore to us our great values and remember the poor and less privileged people in our midst and extend a hand of love and support to them”.

“We pray for values that place high premium on human life, neighbourliness and love as we reaffirm our faith in the unity of our dear country.
