CAN Felicitates With Muslims, Solicits Help For Mokwa Victims

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has extended warm greetings to Muslims expressing sympathy to the people of Mokwa in Niger state recently affected by devastated floods.

CAN President Most Reverend Daniel Okoh in a Sallah message acknowledged the significance of the Eid-el-Kabir known as the Festival of Sacrifice which reminds both Muslims and Christains of the faith and obedience shown by Abraham (Prophet Ibrahim).

Most Reverend Daniel Okoh said the festival teaches muslims about sacrifice, love, and kindness, which are values shared by both Christians and Muslims.

According to him, it is a time to come together with family and friends, to share meals, and to care for one another.

He urged Nigerians to remember those going through hard times, especially residents of Mokwa in Niger State due to serious flooding where many lives have been lost and homes destroyed.

He called on churches and Christians to support those in need; by giving food, clothes, money, or offering prayers and kind words as CAN is working with the government and other groups to make sure help reaches those in need .

” This season of sacrifice reminds us to care for others. Let us share what we have, visit those in need, and pray for peace in our country. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. ”

He reminded Nigerians to promote religious harmony as Nigeria is a special country with many cultures and religions.

” To all our Muslim friends, we wish you a joyful and blessed Eid-el-Kabir. May your prayers be accepted and your homes filled with peace and happiness. To the people of Niger State, we continue to pray for healing and recovery. ”

“As we mark this occasion, let’s all show love, help the needy, and work for peace in our land. Together, we can overcome any problem and build a better Nigeria”
