” This is a moment for sober reflections; I enjoin you to use the period to uphold the spiritual benefit of the celebration by extending a hand of friendship and solidarity across all divides and imbibing the spirit of sacrifice and obedience to the higher   as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim and upheld by Prophet Muhammed. “Truly, times are tough but we are a tough people too . Therefore , I have no doubt that we shall overcome our present economic setback sooner than anticipated , if we all commit to the ideals of nation building .
