The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has described the Eid-El-Kabir festival as a time for sober reflection and submission to the will of God.
In his congratulatory message to Muslims, CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor said “Occasions like this call for sober reflection and submission to the will of the almighty in the life of a nation and its citizens,” he stated.
According to him, Nigeria is going through trying times; the harsh economic condition, the menace of Boko Haram, the recent Ebola pandemic and others. This is why the people of the country must pray during a religious festival like this and seek the face of God.
“I urge all faithful to use the occasion of the sallah celebrations to pray for our country and its leadership for no amount of prayer can be said to be too much for our nation,” Pastor Oritsejaor said.
On behalf of Christians in the”the entire Nigerian Christian community and I wish to felicitate with the leadership of the Muslim community in Nigeria and all faithful on the occasion of the 2014 Eid-el kabir celebrations.
PASTOR AYO ORITSEJAFOR I NOW KNOW THAT U A DEAF . WHY WISHING US ANY GOOD.FOR U ARE BUT A MESSENGER AND MERCHANT OF DEATH.THANKS ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY THAT WE ARE ALIVE TO SEE TODAY.WE THE MUSLIMS WILL STILL REMAIN STRONG WITH OR WITHOUT UR $9.3m.OUR WEAPON IS ALLAH AND ONTO ALLAH WE DEPEND.TO HELL WITH YOUR HYPOCRITIC SALLAH MSG.WA WA MUMU KAWAI
if you are depending on allah, who is BH claiming that they are fighting for? Pastor Ayo remain and is ever innocent of the $9.3m case, that why he is still continuing today. He has nothing to do with that. Allow him to wish the innocent muslims their Eid-El-Kabir celebration, not those behind BH and the $9.3m setup. We know what is going on, just a matter of time, the BH and their sponsors destroying lives and properties in this country will soon be brought to an end. You will see!
