Sen. Dino Melaye, representing kogi West Senatorial District has charged the Muslims to continue to uphold the lessons learnt during the Ramadan in demonstrating love and sincere forgiveness for one another.
This was contained in a press statement issued to journalist in lokoja today by the S. A on Media, Mr. Gideon Ayodele.
Melaye in the statement explained that the day of Eid-ul-Fitr celebration is a custom across different Muslim cultures across the globe that Muslims share and exchange gifts with each other. This exchanging of gifts he said, besides its superficial implications also symbolizes the sharing of love and joy with each other, which ultimately leads to greater love and respect for each other. Thus, the celebration of Eid and the gift exchange that takes place during it actually helps bring people close to each other.
He encourage the Muslim faithful to continue in this practice even after the festival as it will not only better their relationship with God, but also with one another which can help in promoting peace, unity and development in our communities.
He also observes that on the day of Eid-ul-fitir Muslims keep all their tensions and conflicts aside and greet each other with love and joy. "On this day Muslims forgive each other for all of the previous mistakes and by forgiving all that they hug each other and give their relation a fresh start that is based on love and brotherhood with no ulterior motives" he concluded.
