Member representing Akoko North East/ Akoko West Federal Constituency, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has felicitated with the Muslim faithful on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-kabir.
Tunji-Ojo particularly urges Muslims in Akoko North East/ Akoko West Federal Constituency to cultivate the habit of showing love to one another and to people of other faiths.
He emphasized that the recent spike in crime rates in the country was due the lack of love for one another among the citizenry.
In a Sallah message to his constituents, the House Committee Chairman on NDDC urged Muslims to celebrate in moderation and extend hands of giving to their economically disadvantaged neighbours.
He reiterated in the statement that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) encouraged love amongst Muslims because it is a virtue that conquers all vices.
“The virtue of love that is palpably missing in our conducts is attributable to the worrisome spike in crime rate in our nation.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) did not only teach how to love our creator, but also taught on how to love other creations.”
Tunji-Ojo also seized advantage of the Eid-el-kabir celebration to assure his constituents and the people of mandate areas in the Niger Delta of his commitment to the mandate given him.
He underscored his preparedness to use the instrumentality of the law to confront and suppress all entrenched forces that profit from working against the interests of their development and welfare.
“This period affords me an opportunity to re-emphasise my commitment to the interests of my constituents as well as people of the Niger Delta mandate areas.
” The virtue of love in me is a force that is driving me to work and fight for the overall interests of the weak, voiceless and economically oppressed. I am pleased to wish all the Muslim faithful Barka de sallah.”
