Senator Alphonsus Ubanesse Igbeke has extended heartfelt Eid al-Adha greetings to Muslims in Nigeria calling upon the faithful to embrace the feast’s profound spiritual essence, moving beyond ceremonial observance to embody its eternal lessons of sacrifice, humility, and brotherhood as taught by Prophet Muhammad.
Senator Ubanesse Igbeke, a Development expert and Lead Consultant to the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), noted that Eid al-Adha commemorates the unwavering submission of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail to the will of Allah.
“It reminds believers that true faith is tested not in times of abundance, but in moments when one is called to surrender what is most beloved,” he said.
Igbeke who is the Chairman of the Technical Working Group, ALGON National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) under the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources-Gas, Senator Ubanesse Igbeke emphasized that this sacred season calls every citizen, especially those entrusted with public leadership, to place service, justice, and compassion above personal gain.
The Prophet, Igbeke stated, modeled a love that acted, a mercy that restrained, and a truth that uplifted without humiliation.
The ALGON Lead Consultant prays that this Eid will deepen hearts, soften dealings, and carry the spirit of sacrifice from the slaughtering slab into daily conduct—where tolerance replaces suspicion, and accountability replaces indifference.
