The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese,
His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Paulinus Ezeokafor has felicitated with Muslims all
over the world as they celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Kabir with a call on them
to use the period to pray for the unity of Nigeria and as well make peace their
watch-word.
Bishop Ezeokafor who gave the felicitation message at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral, Awka shortly after re-dedicating the renovated old St. Patrick’s Cathedral said meaningful development could not take place in a chaotic environment and urged all to embrace peace and love which he said was the only solution to insecurity in the country.
He said with peace, respect for human
life, sincerity of purpose and love for one another corruption and terrorism
would be a thing of the past. The Catholic prelate while felicitating with the
Muslim Community enjoined all religious leaders to always practice what they
preach and also shun any act capable of bringing the nation to disrepute.
