Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari CFR, has urged Nigerians to pay more than usual attention to the advice of Federal Government on possibility of a worse type of COVID-19 in the country.
He urged Nigerians to adopt preventive measures and protocols in preventing the spread of the dreaded flu like infection.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari stated this while delivering his sallah message to Muslim faithful shortly after he observed the two rakat prayers marking the end of the 2021 Ramadan fasting at the Ilorin Central Eid praying ground.
He said: “We give thanks to Almighty Allah (SWT)once again for granting us the grace to observe the Ramadan fasting successfully. Religious misunderstandings in the state should be addressed by the two main religious leaders.
“The society had gone far enough to prevent leashing violent reactions on any matter that ought to have been settled amicably. The dasting has come and gone. All restraints exhibited while it lasted should be continued and the end of fasting should not be the end of personal discipline.
“To those who are performing this year’s holy pilgrimage (Umrah) among us, we wish them Allah’s travelling mercies and happy return to their respective homes.
“For those who are sick in the hospital and at home, we pray Allah to heal them and for those that died in the current year, may Allah grant them Al-janatul fordaos and give their families the courage and fortitude to bear the loss,” the monarch said.
