Eid-Ud-Adha : Engr. Saleeman Adedoyin urges Kwarans to remain united beyond politics

​As Muslims across the world celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, the Founder and Chairman of the SAS Foundation, Engr. Saleeman Adedoyin, has called on the people of Kwara State to remain united and not allow politics to divide them as activities ahead of future elections begin to gather momentum.

​Engr. Saleeman made the call in his Eid-ul-Adha goodwill message to the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Mai Martaba Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, CFR, as well as the Muslim Ummah in Kwara State, Nigeria, and across the world.

​He described Eid-ul-Adha as a sacred occasion that reflects the virtues of sacrifice, obedience, compassion, and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

​According to him, the celebration serves as a reminder of the need for unity, peaceful coexistence, love, and service to humanity.

​“As the political tides become heightened, we must not allow politics to divide us. The unity, harmony, and peaceful coexistence that Ilorin Emirate and Kwara State are known for must remain our collective priority,” he stated.

​He urged residents, irrespective of political affiliations, to continue to see themselves as one people bound by a shared history, culture, and collective aspirations.

​“Eid-ul-Adha is a significant occasion that reminds us of the values of faith, selflessness, sacrifice, and devotion to Almighty Allah. I extend my heartfelt felicitations to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Ilorin, and to all Muslim faithful celebrating this blessed season. May this period inspire us to strengthen our commitment to peace, unity, and humanity,” he added.

​The SAS Foundation Chairman also commended Muslims for their steadfast devotion and acts of worship during the season, praying that Almighty Allah accepts their sacrifices, supplications, and acts of obedience.

​He further urged the Muslim Ummah to use the occasion to show kindness to the less privileged and vulnerable members of society, stressing that the true essence of Eid lies in sharing, empathy, and compassion.

​“As we celebrate, let us remember those in need and continue to extend love and support to one another. The values of kindness, sacrifice, and compassion should remain part of our daily lives beyond the festive season,” he said.

​Engr. Saleeman also called for sustained prayers for the peace, unity, and development of Kwara State and Nigeria, noting that collective efforts and prayers remain essential for national progress and stability.

​“In these challenging times, our unity remains our greatest strength. Let us continue to pray for our leaders and work together for the growth, peace, and prosperity of our dear state and country. May Almighty Allah continue to bless Nigeria and guide us toward a better future,” he added.
