The candidate who contested for Delta South Senatorial District position on the platform of New Nigeria Peoples Party in the just concluded Presidential and Senatorial elections, Commodore Omatseye Nesiama(rtd) has charged Muslim faithful to show love to their neighbours just as he said they should show tolerance generally to reflect the preaching and teaching of Prophet Mohammed.
In a press statement signed by the Commodore Nesiama himself and made available to newsmen said, as Muslims celebrate the feast, they should use the period to show love, tolerance and forgiveness of their neigbours. According to him, Islamic religion is known for peace, love and progress and therefore charged Muslem faithful in Nigeria in particular and the world at large to eschew anything capable of bringing disunity between and among them and their neighbours but love their neighbours as themselves.
The statement said:” As Muslim faithful celebrate this Eid-il Fitri, they should not forget the purpose for which it is meant, they should use the period to reflect on the preaching and teaching of love, tolerance and forgiveness as exemplified by Prophet Mohammed”
Commodore Nesiama(rtd) therefore wished the Muslims in Nigeria in particular and the world at large a blissful celebration. The statement said:” I therefore use this medium to wish all Muslems in Nigeria and the world at large a happy Eid-il Fitri celebration”.
