Eid-el-Kabir: Osun Poly Rector, Alhaji Kehinde Alabi, Preaches Obedience, Sacrifice, Love, Charity

-


As Muslims all over the world celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir today, the Rector, Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Alhaji Kehinde Adeyemi Alabi, has charged the Muslim Ummah in the institution on the occasion of this year’s Eid Adha celebration to be more prayerful, obedient, dedicated, diligent and love one another.

Alhaji Alabi, in a message he personally authored, urged the Islamic faithful to use this season to pray for peace in Osun State, especially for God's continued support of Governor Adeleke's victory in the August 15 governorship election.

He charged them to borrow a leaf from the life of Prophet Mohammed who yielded to the instructions of God to sacrifice his only begotten son, Ismail in obedience to God.

The Rector said, "the lessons of humility, love and charity exhibited in the Eid-el-Kabir festival are good virtues which we should embrace in our daily lives."

He admonished the entire Polytechnic Community to be more loving, tolerant, charitable and dedicated to their duties.

Alhaji Alabi enthused that "this festival should not only be characterised with merriment, but dedicated for prayers, especially, at this period when Nigeria and Osun State are in need of fervent prayers.

The Rector enjoined the Muslims to pray for the continued peace and tranquility in the state. He also stated that "Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke's victory in the August 15 2026 election should be a cardinal prayer point of the people at this unique spiritual celebration."

According to him, Governor Adeleke's administration has rejuvenated the socio-educational and infrastructure of the State, noting that this is evident in the accreditation of all courses in Osun State Polytechnic Iree and other Institutions in the State, road constructions in all Osun Communities, good health care delivery, payment of outstanding salaries, upward review of workers' salaries, peaceful co-existence of inhabitants of the State and many others."

Alhaji Alabi stressed that “today is a day of sacrifice which means that we should all sacrifice ourselves to pray for continued peace and progress in our land."
