The Deputy Chief Imam, Benin central mosque, Alhaji Otokiti Mohammed Osahon, has urged Nigerians, especially political office holders, to always fulfil their promises to the people.
This was the message during the Eid prayer held on Sunday in Benin.
He said Prophet Ibrahim kept his promise to Allah when he attempted to sacrifice his son Ismaila, which he noted is the reason for Eid Kabir celebration.
He said political officeholders should always toe the path that will make the people believe them and not always make them be on the receiving end, urging them to rethink for a better society.
