A former National President of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Hon. Alabi Kolade David has congratulated Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid al-Adha, reminding the faithful that it is call to sacrifice, unity, and service.
In his 2026 Sallah message, Alabi who is the standard bearer for Somolu Federal Constituency, Lagos State for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the upcoming general elections extended heartfelt greetings to the Muslim Ummah and to every household across Somolu and Lagos State.
Said he: “Eid al-Adha is not merely a feast—it is a covenant of faith, sacrifice, and service. It recalls the submission to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS), reminding us that true devotion is measured by what we are willing to surrender for the sake of Allah and for the good of our community.
“The Qurban is more than ritual; it is a mirror held to the soul, asking each of us to lay down pride, selfishness, and division, so that unity and compassion may rise in their place.
“Somolu, with its vibrant markets, resilient youth, and industrious families, is a living testament to what sacrifice and unity can achieve.
“This Eid, let us carry that spirit into our daily lives: reconciling differences, strengthening bonds, and ensuring that no neighbor is left behind.
“Our progress as a constituency is not built on individual triumphs, but on collective service—leaders listening, youth leading, and communities thriving together,” he stated.
Hon. Alabi Kolade David prayed that this Eid will be a turning point—where sacrifice is not confined to the altar, but expressed in our governance, our neighborhoods, and our everyday dealings.
“May tolerance replace suspicion, may justice silence indifference, and may service to one another be the true celebration of Eid,” he urged.
